2. You know that 1/7 = 0.142857.Can you predict what the decimal expansions of 2/7,3/7,4/7,5/7,6/7 are,without actually going the long division? If so,how? Hint: Study the remainders while finding the value of 1/7 carefully.
To find the decimal expansions of 2/7,3/7,4/7,5/7,6/7 we observe that each fraction is a multiple of 1/7.
So, 2/7 = 2 x 1/7, 3/7 = x 1/7, 4/7 = x 1/7, 5/7 = x 1/7, 6/7 = x 1/7.
Since, 1/7 = 0.142857 Multiply with each fraction.
2/7 x 0.142857 = , 3/7 x 0.142857 = ,4/7 x 0.142857 = .
= 5/7 x 0.142857 = ,6/7 x 0.142857 = .

4. Express 0.99999 .... in the form p/q. Are you surprised by your answer? With your teacher and classmates discuss why the answer makes sense.

= 0.9999999 = .

Thus, we see that no matter whatever the number of intervals we take, 0.99999... always lies closer to 1.

Hence, we can say that 0.99999 = 1 which is algebraically proven.

5. What can the maximum number of digits be in the repeating block of digits in the decimal expansion of p/q ?Perform the division to check your answer.

= 1/17 = .

The maximum number of digits in the quotient are .

6. Look at several examples of rational numbers in the form 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?

= 2/5 : ,3/100 : ,

=27/16 : ,33/50 : .

We observe that the denominators of the above rational numbers are in the form of 2a × 5b, where a and b are whole numbers.

Hence if q is in the form 2a × 5b then p/q is a terminating decimal.

7. Write three numbers whose decimal expansions are non-terminating non-recurring.

All irrational numbers are non-terminating and non-repeating.

Example : ,,.

3. Recall, π is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter (say d). That is, π = c/d.This seems to contradict the fact that π is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction?

π is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, that is, π = c/d. Hence, we see that π is a number as it is expressed in the form of p/q.

But, we know that π is an irrational number.In fact, the value of π is calculated as the non-terminating, non-recurring decimal number as π = 3.14159...and hence π is not exactly equal to 22/7. In conclusion, π is an number.

4. Represent √9.3 on the number line.

5. Rationalise the denominators of the following:
(i).1/√7
Dividing and multiplying by √7, 1/√7 = (1/√7)x(√7/√7)
= √/.
(ii)1/(√7-√6)
Dividing and multiplying by √7 + √6, [1/(√7 - √6)] × (√7 + √6) / (√7 + √6)
Using identity (a + b)(a - b) = (a² - b²)
= (√7 + √6) / (√7)² - (√6)²
= √ + √.
(iii) 1/(√5 + √2)
Dividing and multiplying by √5 - √2,[1/(√5 + √2)] × (√5 - √2)/(√5 - √2)
Using identity (a + b)(a - b) = (a² - b²)
= (√ - √) / (√5)² - (√2)²
= (√5 - √2) /

Exercise 9.3.1

1. How will you describe the position of a table lamp on your study table to another person?

Table Size : length=80cm, width=40cm.

If the Lamp is at center of the table.

Position of lamp = , or ,.

2. (Street Plan) : A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.

All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find: (i)how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3). (ii)how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
