Answer:

Explanation:

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.0294117647 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .0294117647, means.

Since there are 10 digits in 0294117647, the very last digit is the "10000000000th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .0294117647 is the same as 0294117647/10000000000.

So your final answer is: 0.0294117647 can be written as the fraction
