Prove algebraically that 0.5 recurring = 5/9

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.

Let x = 0.555..... → (1)

Multiply both sides by 10, then

10x = 5.555..... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal

(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is

9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = $\frac{5}{9}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$ , $\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} }$ = $a^{(m-n)}$ , $(a^m)^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$

Simplifying the product of the first 2 terms

$\frac{a^{p^2+pq} }{a^{pq+q^2} }$ × $\frac{a^{q^2+qr} }{a^{qr+r^2} }$

= $a^{p^2-q^2}$ × $a^{q^2-r^2}$

= $a^{p^2-r^2}$

Simplifying the third term

5( $(a^p+r)^{p-r}$

= 5 $a^{(p+r)(p-r)}$ = 5 $a^{(p^2-r^2)}$

Performing the division, that is

$\frac{a^{(p^2-r^2)} }{5a^{(p^2-r^2)} }$ ← cancel $a^{(p^2-r^2)}$ on numerator/ denominator leaves

= $\frac{1}{5}$
