Question

Convert the following repeating decimals to fractions
c) 0.2151515151515........

hint Hint:

Perform necessary multiplications to make it as a fraction.

The correct answer is: 71/330

Complete step by step solution:
(c) Let x = 0.215151515…(i)
Now multiply by 10 on both the sides in (i),
We get, 10x = 2.151515
Now multiply by 100 on both the sides in (i),
100x = 21.51515
Now multiply by 1000 on both the sides in (i),
1000x = 215.151515
On subtracting 10x from both the sides, we have
$1000 x minus 10 x equals 215.1515 minus 2.151515$

On simplification, we have $x equals 71 over 330$
Hence 0.2151515151515....... = $71 over 330$
