Explanation:
Recall (Sum of Geometric Series Formula):
We can view a repeated decimal as the sum of a geometric series.
By applying the formula above with
Explanation:
Obtain 2 equations with the same repeating part then subtract them.
#"We can represent the repeated part by " 1.bar34#
#x=1.bar34to(1)larrcolor(red)" multiply by 100"#
#100x=134.bar34to(2)#
#"Subtract " (2)-(1)#
#(100x-x)=(134.bar34-1.bar34)#
#rArr99x=133larrcolor(red)" repeating part eliminated"#
#rArrx=133/99larrcolor(red)"in simplest form"#
