The correct Answer is:
To express the repeating decimal \(2.3\overline{45}\) in the form of \(\frac{p}{q}\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are coprime, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Let \(x\) be the repeating decimal**: \[ x = 2.345454545\ldots \] 2. **Multiply by 10 to shift the decimal point**: \[ 10x = 23.454545\ldots \] 3. **Multiply by 100 to shift the decimal point further**: \[ 100x = 234.545454\ldots \] 4. **Set up the equations**: From the above, we have: - Equation 1: \(x = 2.345454545\ldots\) - Equation 2: \(10x = 23.454545\ldots\) - Equation 3: \(100x = 234.545454\ldots\) 5. **Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3**: \[ 100x - 10x = 234.545454\ldots - 23.454545\ldots \] This simplifies to: \[ 90x = 211.09 \] 6. **Solve for \(x\)**: \[ x = \frac{211.09}{90} \] 7. **Convert the decimal in the numerator to a fraction**: The decimal \(211.09\) can be expressed as: \[ 211.09 = \frac{21109}{100} \] Therefore, \[ x = \frac{21109}{100} \cdot \frac{1}{90} = \frac{21109}{9000} \] 8. **Simplify the fraction**: We need to check if \(21109\) and \(9000\) have any common factors. After checking, we find that they are coprime (no common factors other than 1). 9. **Final expression**: Thus, we can express \(2.3\overline{45}\) as: \[ x = \frac{21109}{9000} \] ### Final Answer: \[ x = \frac{21109}{9000} \]
