Solution

- The number given to us can be rewritten as follows:


92.698=92+0.698

- Thus, we already know what is in the whole number bracket; 92.

- The fraction representation of 0.698 is what will occupy the fraction brackets.

- 0.698 can be rewritten as:


0.698=(698)/(1000)

- Let us simplify this fraction as follows:


\begin{gathered} (698)/(1000)=(349*2)/(500*2) \\ \\ 2\text{ crosses out.} \\ \\ =(349)/(500) \end{gathered}

- Thus, the answer is
