प्रश्न

Express the following recurring decimals as a rational number:

`4.bar18`

बेरीज

उत्तर

`4.bar18` = 4.181818…

= 4 + 0.18 + 0.0018 + 0.000018 + …

Here, 0.18, 0.0018, 0.000018, … are in G.P.
with a = 0.18 and r = 0.01

Since, | r | = |0.01| < 1

∴ Sum to infinity exists.

∴ Sum to infinity = `"a"/(1 - "r") = 0.18/(1 - (0.01)) = 0.18/0.99 = 18/99 = 2/11`

∴ `4.bar18 = 4 + 2/11 = 46/11`.
