Converting Repeating Decimal to Fraction
To convert the repeating decimal $0.434343...$ into a fraction, follow these steps:
-
Let the decimal be represented by a variable, for example, $x$. $x = 0.434343...$
-
Identify the repeating block. The digits '43' repeat. Since there are 2 repeating digits, multiply the equation by $10^2 = 100$. $100x = 100 \times 0.434343...$ $100x = 43.434343...$
-
Subtract the original equation ($x = 0.434343...$) from the new equation ($100x = 43.434343...$) to eliminate the decimal part. $100x - x = (43.434343...) - (0.434343...)$ $99x = 43$
-
Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 99. $x = \frac{43}{99}$
Therefore, the fraction equivalent of the repeating decimal $0.434343...$ is $\frac{43}{99}$.
Final Result Verification
Comparing the result $\frac{43}{99}$ with the given options, Option 3 matches the calculated fraction.
