Question

Express the recurring decimal 0.142 recurring as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

7/165

Step-by-step explanation:

We take number after the decimal point     042

then we subtract  the non repeating.In this case is 0 so we not subtract anything

This will be the numerator  42

For each repeating decimal we write a 9 (in this case 2 nines)

For each non repeating decimal we write a zero

Denominator is 990

42/990  =  7/165

7:165 = 0.0424242

I think this is what you do. Hope it helps!
