Question

Rewrite as a simplified fraction.
3.48 repeating

Answer 1

3 16/33

Step-by-step explanatio

Answer 2

`(115)/(33)`

Explanation:

assuming 48 is repeating

We have to create 2 equations with the repeating decimal placed after the decimal point.

let x = 3.4848..... → (1)

multiply both sides by 100

100x = 348.4848... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the decimal

99x = 345 ( divide both sides by 99 )

x =
`(345)/(99)` =
`(115)/(33)` ← in simplest form
