Question

Express 2.4178 in p/q form

Answer 1

let x be 2.4178
x= 2.4178(bar on 178)

Our next step is to multiply both the sides by 10.

10x = 24.178(bar on 178) {1}

Now multiply both the sides by 1000

10000x = 24178.178 {2}

Lets subtract {2}- {1}

9990x = 24154

x= 24154 /9990

Simplify x= 24154 /9990

x = 12077 / 4995
