Yes, of course. Different denominators in the rational equivalent give rise to different lengths of repeating strings.

How can you figure out if a decimal is repeating?

You know a decimal is repeating when you keep getting the same remainder and you keep adding the same decimal onto the end. On calculators it may be expressed as, as an example, 0.6666667. When writing a reoccurring (repeating) decimal it is usually expressed as one decimal with a line over the top of it.

What is 6 over 35 as a decimal?

0.1714285714285714285714 etc.. And although it does turn out to be like that, the proper way to right it without repeating is .....________ 0.1714285 Note: Please ignore the dots in front of the line. And the line is to be writing above the number starting with the 7, indicating that that's what repeats. Also keep in mind that just because that it's a repeating decimal doesn't mean it's irrational. It's written as a fraction. Any fraction is rational, so this repeating decimal is rational.

There can be no answer to the question because it is based on a false assumption.0.3333... repeating = 1/3 : I don't see any 9s in the denominator!or 0.0111... repeating = 11/990 : I would not consider the last digit in the denominator to be 9.Having said that, the significance of 9 is that we count in blocks of one more: 10s.

Why do you multiplied by a power of 10 when writing a repeating decimal as a rational number?

Multiplying by ten to the power k moves the decimal point k places to the right. If the repeating sequence comprises n digits and you multiply by 10n then the decimal point is moved n places to the right and the positions of the repeating sequence relative to the decimal point is not changed. This allows you to subtract the one repeating decimal expression from the other and get a terminating decimal which can then be used as the numerator of the ratio.
