Answer:

I think this is probably late, but the answer is 4/11.

Explanation:

0.36363636363 is the first repeating fraction and 36.36363636 is the second repeating fraction, because you multiply it by 100.

When 0.3636363636363 is multiplied by 100, the decimal moves from in front of the number 36 and moves behind it. So the answer is now 36.36363636

You're suppose to subtract those two minus each other, the denominator

the fraction is technically 36/99, but simplified version is 4/11. So the answer is indeed 4/11.

Thanks for your time!
