    A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Repeating decimals are rational numbers that can be converted to fractions by multiplying the decimal by a power of 10 to eliminate the repeating portion, then setting up an equation to solve for the fraction. All repeating decimals can be written as rational numbers or fractions, showing that rational numbers and repeating decimals are equivalent concepts.

    Really! I’m Rational!

    A rational number is ____________________________________________________________.


    𝑎
    Let’s prove repeating decimals are rational numbers that can be written in the form 𝑏.

    0.3 can be __________ by an power of ____ to change it to a ___________________________.

    (A) Let x = _________, then (B) (___)x=__________

    Find the difference of equation (A) from Express another way. Since (A) states that
    equation (B). x=0.33333…, you can substitute the decimal
    with x. Separate the whole number and
    decimal from (B) and use substitution for
    x=0.33333….

    Notice that the solutions to both problems are the same. Solve this equation and simplify.
    X=________
