Answer:

0.235 = 47/100

0.5777 = 5777/10000

Explanation:

Given the decimal numbers 0.235 and 0.5777, to show in the form p/q means we are to express the decimals in fraction in its lowest form. This is as shown below;

0.235 = 235/1000

= 5*47/5*200

= 47/200

0.235 = 47/100 where p = 47 and q = 200

For 0.5777

0.5777 = 5777/10000

This fraction can not be expressed further into its lowest term therefore p = 5777 and q = 10000
