If the repeating decimal 0.23737 is written as a fraction in lowest terms, what is the sum of the numerator and the denominator?

Respuesta :

Let [tex]x=0.23737\ldots=0.2\overline{37}[/tex]. Then

[tex]10x=2.\overline{37}[/tex]

[tex]100x=237.\overline{37}[/tex]

[tex]\implies100x-10x=237.\overline{37}-2.\overline{37}[/tex]

[tex]\implies90x=235[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=\dfrac{235}{90}=\dfrac{47}{18}[/tex]

and the sum of the numerator and denominator is 65.

Answer:

the answer is 23/99
