Question

Converting repeating decimals to a fraction

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1:

Let x equal the repeating decimal you are trying to convert to a fraction.

Step 2:

Examine the repeating decimal to find the repeating digit(s).

Step 3:

Place the repeating digit(s) to the left of the decimal point.

Step 4:

Place the repeating digit(s) to the right of the decimal point.

Step 5:

Using the two equations you found in step 3 and step 4, subtract the left sides of the two equations. Then, subtract the right sides of the two equations

As you subtract, just make sure that the difference is positive for both sides.
