Question

Could someone PLEASE just HELP me with this question.

Answer 1

`image`

-----------------------------------
or using this weird notation

`x=0.\dot{1}8\dot{9}\\ 1000x=189.\dot{1}8\dot{9}\\ 1000x-x=189.\dot{1}8\dot{9}-0.\dot{1}8\dot{9}\\ 999x=189\\ x=(189)/(999)=(7)/(37)`

Answer 2

`(7)/(37)`

Detailed Explanation

To simply answer this, since .189 has three digits we are going to be inserting 999 as the denominator since it is a repeating decimal.

`(189)/(999)`

We could simplify the answer!

`(189)/(999)`

Therefore, the answer would simply be
`(7)/(37)`

`(7)/(37)`

Always Remember

In the future, always remember whenever you have a three digit decimal and the problem asks you to convert it into a fraction, you should always insert 1000 as the denominator (the numerator is basically the decimal without the decimal point) and simplify if necessary.
