You can put this solution on YOUR website!
here's a reference that looks like it can be used to find the solution to your problem.
\n" ); document.write( "http://www.basic-mathematics.com/converting-repeating-decimals-to-fractions.html
\n" ); document.write( "your first number is .27 repeating endlessly.
\n" ); document.write( "put that number to the left of the decimal place to get 27.27
\n" ); document.write( "in order to do that you had to multiply the original number by 100.
\n" ); document.write( "your modified equation is 100x = 27.27
\n" ); document.write( "your equation is x = .27...
\n" ); document.write( "subtract x from 10x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "100x - x = 27.27... - .27...
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms on both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "99x = 27
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 99 to get x = 27/99.
\n" ); document.write( "reduce this equation to its simplest terms to get x = 3/11.
\n" ); document.write( "that should be your fraction.
\n" ); document.write( "use your calculator to see that 3/11 = .27272727...
\n" ); document.write( "the ... means that the 27 repeats endlessly.
\n" ); document.write( "it works !!!.
\n" ); document.write( "solving your second problem should be just as easy.
\n" ); document.write( "your second problem is .256...
\n" ); document.write( "the repeating digits are 256.
\n" ); document.write( "put them to the left of the decimal point to get 256.256...
\n" ); document.write( "in order to do that, you had to multiply .256 by 1000, so your equations are:
\n" ); document.write( "x = .256...
\n" ); document.write( "1000x = 256.256...
\n" ); document.write( "subtract x from 1000x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "1000x - x = 256.256... - .256...
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get:
\n" ); document.write( "999x = 256
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 999 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 256/999
\n" ); document.write( "user your calculator to show that 256/999 = .256256256...\r
