  • Converting decimals to fractions (not a grade school question)?

    Okay folks. When I was answering this following question:

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200804...

    alpha (who doesn't let user contact him anymore, I think) provide this following method of converting rational numbers to fractions:

    0.3333... = 3333/9999 = 1/3

    0.1666... = (1666-1)/9990 = 1665/9990 = 1/6

    This method still works some other rationals:

    0.5555... = 555/999 = 5/9

    0.0909... = 909/9999 = 1/11

    but the process completely breaks down when I tried to figure out how to do it for other rationals:

    5/6 = 0.8333... = (8333-1)/9990 = 4166/4555 ≠ 5/6

    I have no clue how to apply the process for crazy irrationals:

    1/7 = 0.14285714285714... (with 14285714 repeating)

    Anyone else knows about this method and explain dealing with all rationals will be great.

  • Obama vs. Clinton (my first ever question, be gentle!)?

    Well, folks. Time has finally come for me to ask my first question since I started using Y!A since I join 6 months. It's not a question per se, but it's more of gauging people's opinions. Will try to pick a best answer, but I think people should get more out of my question than the answers that are listed.

    Now my question is: what's everyone's perception about Obama vs. Clinton. Here is a posting I have about why Obama ain't good enough in "Hope is not enough":

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xreaders_rant/messag...

    "Since I don't believe any Republicans will stand a chance against the democratic front runners, namely Hillary and Obama. I am aiming to give those who read this post better perspective about the differences between Hilary & Obama.

    Casting aside the facts that Hillary being female & Obama being black, my choice for president will be Hillary (and no, Obama can not be on Hillary ticket for VP...."
