Archimedes
Can pi be written as a fraction?
22/7 I think is the closest fraction you will get. By definition it is irrational, and cannot be written as fraction of integer numbers. There are a few fractions that are close approximates though. Pi cannot be technically written as a fraction. However, a fraction that is a close approximation of pi is 22/7.
How can you solve the circumference of a circle if pi has been used as a fraction?
You can either 1)You can divide out the fraction used for pi then multiply by the diameter or 2)Put the diameter over 1 then multiply across with the fraction used for pi.
Can the exact value of PI be calculated?
"Not as a decimal or fraction as there are an infinite number of digits." This is a common and useful answer. The *correct* answer is that PI is firstly an irrational number that cannot be calculated from any ratio (fraction). Secondly, PI is a transcendental number that, by the definition of "transcendental", cannot be exactly calculated. The nest you can do is to apply an infinite convergent series that becomes more and more accurate with more and more decimal places.
