(b) What is 0.36- ( line on top of the 6 only) expressed as a fraction in simplest form?
(c) What is 0.36 expressed as a fraction in simplest form?

Answer 1

A) 0.36 with a line over both 36 means as a decimal the 36 repeats, so it would look like 0.363636

as a fraction it would be 36/99, divide both numbers by 9 to get 4/11

B) 0.36 with the line over the 6 means just the 6 repeats so it would look like 0.3666
 as a fraction that would be 33/90 , divide both by 3 to get 11/30

C) 0.36 would be 36/100, divide both numbers by 4 to get 9/25
