Answer:


(13)/(33)

Explanation:

we require 2 equations with the repeating digits placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.3939.... (1) โ† multiply both sides by 100

100x = 39.3939... (2)

subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits

99x = 39 ( divide both sides by 99 )

x =
(39)/(99) =
(13)/(33) โ† in simplest form
