Answer:

Explanation:

Call the given fraction x

x = 0.436363636....

Multiply the given fraction by 1000

1000 x = 436.3636363636 ....

10 x = 4.363636.... is the original number multiplied by 10

990x = 432 the 0.36363636 ... cancels out of both of them

990x = 432 Divide by 990

x = 432 / 990

x = 216 / 495

I think that is about as simple as you can get it.
