You know that \(\frac{1}{7}\) = 0142857_ . . Can you predict what the decimal expansions of \(\frac{2}{7},\frac{3}{7},\frac{4}{7},\frac{5}{7},\frac{6}{7}\) are, without actually doing the long division? If so, how? [Hint : Study the remainders while finding the value of 1/7 carefully.]
Express the following in the form \(\frac{p }{ q}\) , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
(i) 0.6(ii) 0.47 (iii) 0.001.
In Fig, ∠ ABC = 69°, ∠ ACB = 31°, find ∠ BDC.
In Fig. 9.26, A, B, C and D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠ BEC = 130° and ∠ ECD = 20°. Find ∠ BAC.
Look at several examples of rational numbers in the form \(\frac{p}{q}\) (q ≠ 0), where p and q are integers with no common factors other than 1 and having terminating decimal representations (expansions). Can you guess what property q must satisfy?
