Question

Convert 3.83 to q fraction. with 3 repeating

Answer 1

3 5/6

Explanation:

1) Let x equal the decimal. Set up two equations such that the digits after the decimal point are identical.

2) 100x = 383.3333...

10x = 38.3333...

Subtracting the two equations, we have:

90x = 345

x = 345/90

x = 23/6 or simplified, 3 5/6

Hope this helps! ;)
