Correct option is D
Given:
The repeating decimal number is given as 0.474747...
Formula Used:
To convert a repeating decimal into a fraction, we use the following approach:
1. Represent the repeating decimal as x.
2. Multiply x by an appropriate power of 10 to shift the repeating part.
3. Subtract the original equation from the shifted equation to eliminate the repeating part.
4. Solve for x to find the fractional equivalent.
Solution:
Let x = 0.474747...
Since the repeating part is '47', multiply x by 100:
100x = 47.474747...
100x = 47+ 0.474774...
100x = 47 + x
99x = 47
x =
Now, subtract the original equation from this equation:
Thus, the fraction equivalent to
