Capitolo 9, Problema 49
Express each repeating decimal as a fraction in lowest terms.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Let \( x = 0.257257257\ldots \), where the digits 257 repeat indefinitely.
Since the repeating block has 3 digits, multiply \( x \) by \( 10^3 = 1000 \) to shift the decimal point three places to the right: \( 1000x = 257.257257257\ldots \).
Set up the equation by subtracting the original \( x \) from this new expression to eliminate the repeating decimal part: \( 1000x - x = 257.257257257\ldots - 0.257257257\ldots \).
Simplify the subtraction to get \( 999x = 257 \), since the repeating decimals cancel out.
Solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 999: \( x = \frac{257}{999} \). Then, simplify the fraction to its lowest terms by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 257 and 999 and dividing numerator and denominator by it.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Repeating Decimals
A repeating decimal is a decimal number in which a sequence of digits repeats infinitely. For example, 0.257̅ means the digits '257' repeat endlessly. Understanding this pattern is essential to convert the decimal into a fraction.

Algebraic Representation of Repeating Decimals
To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, represent the decimal as a variable (e.g., x), then multiply by a power of 10 to shift the decimal point to align repeating parts. Subtracting these equations eliminates the repeating portion, allowing you to solve for x as a fraction.
