how to solve rational numbers with bar notations?

Sagot :

                                                                     
So, for example we have the number 0.272727.... Let that be equal to x.
                   
x = 0.272727...

If we multiply both sides by 100, we will have:
                      
100x = 27.2727...

Subtract the first equation from the second:
                   
100x = 27.272727...
 -   x =   0.272727...
  90x = 27.000000...

Isolate x:

[tex]x = \frac{27}{99} = \frac{7}{11} [/tex]
                 
                                      
Another example: 0.16666...
Let x = 0.1666...
10x = 1.666...

10x = 1.666...
-  x = 0.1666...
9x = 1.5000...

[tex]x = \frac{1.5}{9} = \frac{15}{90} = \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
