Repeating Decimal Addition Explained
This solution explains how to find the sum of two repeating decimals, $0.\overline{23}$ and $0.\overline{22}$.
Convert Repeating Decimals to Fractions
Repeating decimals can be accurately represented as fractions. A repeating decimal of the form $0.\overline{ab}$ is equal to the fraction $\frac{ab}{99}$.
- Convert $0.\overline{23}$: $0.\overline{23} = \frac{23}{99}$
- Convert $0.\overline{22}$: $0.\overline{22} = \frac{22}{99}$
Add the Fractions
Now, add the fractional representations:
$ \frac{23}{99} + \frac{22}{99} = \frac{23 + 22}{99} = \frac{45}{99} $Convert Sum Back to Repeating Decimal
Convert the resulting fraction $\frac{45}{99}$ back into a repeating decimal. Since the denominator is 99, the numerator represents the repeating part.
$ \frac{45}{99} = 0.454545... = 0.\overline{45} $Therefore, the value of $0.\overline{23} + 0.\overline{22}$ is $0.\overline{45}$.
