We first let 0.16 be x . Since x is recurring in 2 decimal places, we multiply it by 100. Next, we subtract them. Lastly, we divide both sides by 99 to get x as a fraction
Explanation:
We first let 0.16 be x.
Since x is recurring in 2 decimal places, we multiply it by 100.
100 x = 16.16
Next, we subtract them.
100 x−x=16.16 −0.16
99 x = 16
Lastly, we divide both sides by 99 to get x as a fraction.
