34. You know that

1 over 7 equals 0. top enclose 142857

Can you predict what the decimal expansions of

2 over 7 comma space 3 over 7 comma space 4 over 7 comma space 5 over 7 comma space 6 over 7

are, without actually doing the long division? If so, how?

[Hint: Study the remainders while finding the value of

1 over 7

carefully.]

36. Express the following in the form $p over q$ where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

$0. top enclose 47$

Let x = $0. top enclose 47$ = 0.47777 ......
Multiplying both sides by 10 (since one digit is repeating), we get

10x = 4.7777 ......
$rightwards double arrow$ 10x = 4.3 + 0.47777 .......
$rightwards double arrow$ 10x = 4.3 + x
$rightwards double arrow$ 10x - x = 4.3
$rightwards double arrow$ 9x = 4.3

$rightwards double arrow space space space space straight x space equals space fraction numerator 4.3 over denominator 9 end fraction equals 43 over 90 Thus comma space space space space 0. top enclose 47 equals 43 over 90$

Here, p = 43
q = 90 ( $not equal to 0$ )
