A decimal 2.35 overline 7 is converted into a fraction. What is its value as p/q?

Show answer

1061/450

Let x = 2.35 overline 7. Multiply by 100 to move the non-repeating digits: 100x = 235.overline 7. Multiply again by 10: 1000x = 2357.overline 7. Subtract: 1000x - 100x = 2357.overline 7 - 235.overline 7 = 2122. So 900x = 2122 and x = 2122/900 = 1061/450.

A fraction 2/3 is compared with 4/6. Which statement about these rational numbers is correct?

Show answer

They are equal, They satisfy ad = bc

Check equality using cross multiplication: 2 × 6 = 12 and 3 × 4 = 12. Since ad = bc, the fractions are equal. Different denominators do not mean different values.

3multiple correct

Which properties are true for rational numbers?

Show answer

They are closed under addition, They are closed under subtraction, They are closed under multiplication

Rational numbers remain rational after addition, subtraction, and multiplication. They are also closed under division as long as division by zero is avoided. So the statement that they are never closed under division is false.

A fraction 3/20 is written as a decimal. Which statements are correct?

Show answer

It equals 0.15, It is a terminating decimal, Its denominator has only 2 and 5 as prime factors after simplification

3/20 = 3/(2^2 × 5). Multiplying numerator and denominator by 5 gives 15/100 = 0.15. Since the denominator can become a power of 10, the decimal terminates.
