Fractions and Decimals
A boy on being asked 13/14 of a certain fraction had made the mistake of dividing the fraction by 14/13 and so got an answer that exceeded the correct answer by 3/65. The correct fraction is ?
Let the fraction be N.Then, N / (13/14) - (13/14) x N = 3/65⇒ 14N/13 - 13N/14 = 3/65⇒ (196N - 169N)/182 = 3/65⇒ 27N/182 = 3/65∴ N = (3 x 182) / (27 x 65) = 14/45So, correct answer will be (13/14) x (14/45) = 13/45
Given expression is, 83.04 x 2.01 x 2.1The multiplication value without decimal point = 8304 x 201 x 2 = 3338208Sum of the number of decimal places in the given numbers = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5Now, in the product, the decimal point is marked off to obtain as many places of decimal.Then the answer is 33.38208.
