Question

Write the following rational number in `p/q` form.

15.89

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

Let x = 15.89    ...(1)

Multiplying both sides by 100, we get

100x = 1589.89   ...(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get

∴ 100x - x = 1589.89  - 15.89 

∴ 99x = 1574

`therefore x =  1574/99 `

So, 15.89 = `1574/99`
