10 AnswersBaseball1 decade agoConverting 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.

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...."
