    Question

    Convert into fraction: 0.24370.24\overline{37}​​

    A.

    2437/9990

    B.

    2413/9900

    C.

    2413/9999

    D.

    2437/9999

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    The repeating decimal is 0.24370.24\overline{37}  which means that the digits  37  repeat indefinitely.

    Concept Used:

    To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, we represent the decimal as a sum of a non-repeating part and a repeating part.

    Solution:

    Let x=0.2437x = 0.24\overline{37}​​

    Multiply both sides by 100 (to shift the decimal point two places to the right):

    100x=24.37100x = 24.\overline{37}​​

    Now, multiply both sides by 10000 (to shift the decimal point four places to the right so the repeating part aligns):

    10000x=2437.3710000x = 2437.\overline{37} ​​

    Subtract the first equation from the second:

    10000x100x=2437.3724.3710000x - 100x = 2437.\overline{37} - 24.\overline{37}​​

    9900x = 2413

    x = 24139900\frac{2413}{9900}​​

    Thus, 0.2437=241399000.24\overline{37} = \frac{2413}{9900}​.
