Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{7163}{9900}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we require 2 equations with the repeating digits placed after the decimal point.
(1)
let x = 0.777... (1) ← multiply both sides by 10
10x = 7.777... (2)
subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits
9x = 7 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]
(2)
let x = 0.723535.. ( multiply both sides by 100 and 10,000 )
100x = 72.3535.... (1)
10,000x = 7235.3535..... (2)
subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits
9900x = 7163 ( divide both sides by 9900 )
x = [tex]\frac{7163}{9900}[/tex]
