Question
Here is a table which gives the information about the total rainfall for several months compared to the average monthly rains of a town. Write each decimal in the form of rational number `p/q`.
| Month | Above/Below normal (in cm) |
| May | 2.6924 |
| June | 0.6096 |
| July | – 6.9088 |
| August | – 8.636 |
Solution
(i) May = 2.6924
= `26924/10000` ...[Remove decimal]
`\implies p/q = 6731/2500 "cm"` ...[After dividing numerator and denominator by 4]
(ii) June = 0.6096
= `6096/10000` ...[Remove decimal]
`\implies p/q = 381/625 "cm"` ...[After dividing numerator and denominator by 16]
(iii) July = – 6.9088
= `-69088/10000` ...[Remove decimal]
`\implies p/q = -4318/625 "cm"` ...[After dividing numerator and denominator by 16]
(iv) August = – 8.636
= `-8636/1000` ...[Remove decimal]
`\implies p/q = -2159/250 "cm"` ...[After dividing numerator and denominator by 4]
