(i) Answer.
Solution. We know that
0.2 can be written as
Now,
Hence the answer is
(ii) Answer.
Solution. Let x = 0.888….. .…(i)
Multiply RHS and LHS by 10
10 x = 8.88……. …(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii)
We get
10x – x = 8.8 – 0.8
Hence answer is
(iii) Answer.
Solution. Let x = …eq. (1)
Multiply by 10 on both sides
10x = …eq (2)
Subtracting equation (1) from (2)
We get
10x – x = –
9x = 47
x =
Hence the answer is
(iv) Answer.
Solution. Let x = …. Eq. (1)
Multiply by 1000 on both sides
1000 x = …eq.(2)
Subtracting eq. (1) from (2)
We get
1000 x – x = –
999x = 1
x =
Hence the answer is
(v) Answer.
Solution. Let x = 0.2555 ….. …eq.(1)
Multiply by 10 on both sides
10x = 2.555… …eq.(2)
Multiply by 100 on both sides
100x = 25.55… …eq. (3)
Subtracting eq. (2) from (3),
We get
100x – 10x = 25.555… – 2.555…
90x = 23
x =
Hence the answer is
(vii) Answer.
Solution. Let x = 0.00323232….. …eq.(1)
Multiply with 100 on both sides.
We get
100x = 0.3232… …eq(2)
Multiply again with 100 on both sides,
10000x = 32.3232… …eq(3)
Equation (3) – (2)
we get,
10000 x – 100x = 32.3232… – 0.3232…
9900x = 32
x =
x =
Hence the answer is
(viii) Answer.
Solution. Let x = 0.404040……. …(1)
Multiplying by 100 on both sides
we get
100x = 40.40… …(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from (2)
we get
100x – x = 40.40 – 0.40
99x = 40
x =
Hence the answer is
