      @@emaselaive3540 tbh this is bad way to solve al quetions like this i have a better one
      If we have 0.3 we can solve it as an equation like x=0.33333 then multiply it by 10 so we have now 10x=3.33333 then we will minus the first equation from the second equation like x=0.33333
      And 10x=3.3333
      So now we have 9x and 3
      Then x=3 over 9
      And thats it

    Another way to think about it is to see 0.7 recurring as the value x.
    x=0.777...
    which means 10x=7.7777...
    then if you do 10x - x you get 9x
    7.7777.... - 0.7777... =7
    9x=7 so to get x on its own you would do 7/9, and keep it as a fraction.
    If you had 0.63 recurring you could do it the same way, only with 100x
    x= 0.6363... 100x= 63.6363...
    100x - x =99x
    99x = 63
    so x = 63/99

    Why couldn't I get a maths teacher like this back in the 90's? Ours, in almost every year just plonked maths books in front of our noses & once in a blue moon, wrote some sums on the whiteboard.
    It is no wonder why i got a G in Maths!
    Now 32 I'm self studying GCSE maths & I have really come to realize that I'm a lot more intelligent than that failed G grade!
    I'm very grateful to you maths520 for making these videos. Its amazing what the Internet can do for learning compared to the mid 1990's!

    if there is a natural number to the left of the decimal point, such as 1.024242..., pretend the "1" is a zero, and do 0.02424... put 24 over 99 (24/99) and divide that by 10 (24/990) Then all you have to do is put that "1" in front of it and get 1 and 24/990. Hope this helps :)

    Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
