Apologies for the previous response. It seems there was a mistake. To convert the repeating decimal 0.246 to a rational number, you would set x equal to 0.246. Since the decimal repeats in the hundredths place, you would multiply both sides of the equation by 100. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 100.
If a repeating decimal has a repeating cycle of three digits, it will convert to a rational number with a denominator of 999.
Uh, that’s wrong
Apologies for the confusion. If a repeating decimal has a repeating cycle of three digits, it will convert to a rational number with a denominator of 999. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
