8. Which of the following is a correct vulgar fraction of 0.17?
a) 17/99
b) 17/90
c) 16/90
d) 16/99
View Answer
Explanation: To convert mixed recurring decimal to vulgar fractions, in the numerator take the difference between the numbers formed by all the digits after decimal place (taking repeated digits only once) and that formed by the digits which are not repeated. In the denominator, take the number formed by as many nines as there are repeating digits followed by as many zeroes as is the number of non-repeating digits.
0.17 = \(\frac{17-1}{90}=\frac{16}{90}\).
9. Which of the following is a correct vulgar fraction of 1.927?
a) 106/55
b) 927/990
c) 918/990
d) 213/110
View Answer
Explanation: To convert mixed recurring decimal to vulgar fractions, in the numerator take the difference between the numbers formed by all the digits after decimal place (taking repeated digits only once) and that formed by the digits which are not repeated. In the denominator, take the number formed by as many nines as there are repeating digits followed by as many zeroes as is the number of non-repeating digits.
1.927 = 1+0.927=1+\(\frac{927-9}{990}\)=1+\(\frac{918}{990}=\frac{1908}{990}=\frac{106}{55}\).
10. Which of the following is a correct vulgar fraction of 9.8888…?
a) 18/10
b) 17/9
c) 99/10
d) 89/9
View Answer
Explanation: To convert pure recurring decimal into vulgar fraction, write the repeated figures once in numerator and write as many nines in denominator as is the number of repeating figures.
9.8888… = 9.8 = 9 + 0.8 = 9 + \(\frac{8}{9} = \frac{98}{9}\).
