or using this weird notation

x=0.\dot{1}8\dot{9}\\ 1000x=189.\dot{1}8\dot{9}\\ 1000x-x=189.\dot{1}8\dot{9}-0.\dot{1}8\dot{9}\\ 999x=189\\ x=(189)/(999)=(7)/(37)

Answer


(7)/(37)


Detailed Explanation

To simply answer this, since .189 has three digits we are going to be inserting 999 as the denominator since it is a repeating decimal.



(189)/(999)


We could simplify the answer!


(189)/(999)


Therefore, the answer would simply be
(7)/(37)


(7)/(37)


Always Remember

In the future, always remember whenever you have a three digit decimal and the problem asks you to convert it into a fraction, you should always insert 1000 as the denominator (the numerator is basically the decimal without the decimal point) and simplify if necessary.
