Explanation
Factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
From log BNE to BEN
X=2
if you want explaination then ask me
If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.
9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000
If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.
If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then
1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…
Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…
999<em>x</em> = 9512
<em>x</em> = 9512/999
If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like
9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…
then the number would be irrational.
Answer:
10,000 is the total amount of.money that was distributed

The remainder ends up to be 1. So it is 17.5. All you need to do, is to look for LCM in 35 and 2. </span></span>
