Answer:

a = 1, b = 4

Explanation:

You have worked out part (a) correctly, that is

0.7575... =
(75)/(99) =
(25)/(33)

(b)


(a)/(11) +
(b)/(6) =
(25)/(33)


(6a+11b)/(66) =
(25)/(33)

Multiply numerator/ denominator of
(25)/(33) by 2, thus


(25(2))/(33(2)) =
(50)/(66) , then


(6a+11b)/(66) =
(50)/(66) , thus

6a + 11b = 50

Choose a = 1 ( a positive integer ), then

6(1) + 11b = 50

6 + 11b = 50 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

11b = 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )

b = 4

a = 1, b = 4, so


(1)/(11) +
(4)/(6) =
(25)/(33\\)
