Answer:

Explanation:

A repeating decimal, also known as a recurring decimal, is a decimal number that has a digit or digits that infinitely repeat at regular intervals. Repeating decimals can be tricky to work with, but they can also be converted into a fraction. Sometimes, repeating decimals are indicated by a line over the digits that repeat. The number 3.7777 with 7 repeating, for instance, can also be written as 3.7. To convert a number like this to a fraction, you write it as an equation, multiply, subtract to remove the repeating decimal, and solve the equation. hope this helps
