Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
When 1 is divided by 9, we understand it is a non-terminating decimal number because the denominator consists of other number other than 2 and 5.
Now, let's get into how to solve for x :
Divide both sides by .111... :
1/.111... x .111... = 1/.111 x 1/x
1 = 1/(x)(.111....)
Multiply both sides by x :
1(x) = (x)/(x)(.111...)
x = 1/.111...
x = 9 (nearest whole number)
Answer:
[tex]\sf 0.\dot{1}=\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert 0.11111... to a fraction:
Equation 1
Let: y = 0.11111...
Equation 2
Multiply both sides by 10:
⇒ y · 10 = 0.11111... · 10
⇒ 10y = 1.11111...
Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate the recurring digits after the decimal:
⇒ 10y - y = 1.1111... - 0.11111...
⇒ 9y = 1
Divide both sides by 9
[tex]\implies \sf y=\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\sf 0.\dot{1}=\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]
So if:
[tex]\sf 0.\dot{1}=\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]
Then x = 9
