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.
Solution:
(i) May
2.6924 cm = 26924/10000 … [∵by the decimal removing method]
By dividing both numerator and denominator by 4 we get,
= 6731/2500 cm
(ii) June
0.6096 cm = 0.6096/10000 … [∵by the decimal removing method]
By dividing both numerator and denominator by 16 we get,
= 381/625 cm
(iii) July
-6.9088 cm = -69088/10000 … [∵by the decimal removing method]
By dividing both numerator and denominator by 4 we get,
= -4318/625 cm
(iv)August
-8.636 cm = -8636/1000 … [∵by the decimal removing method]
By dividing both numerator and denominator by 4 we get,
= -2159/250 cm
