Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

0.2333...

First, multiply the number by 10 (because there is 1 number being repeated.

2.333.....

Now subtract by the original number.

2.333...

- 0.2333...

2.10

Write this as an equation:

(10 x fraction) - fraction = 2.1 (10 x fraction) - fraction = 9 x fraction

9 x fraction = 2.1 (Divide both sides by 9)


(2.1)/(9) =
(7)/(30)


(7)/(30) is the answer.

(To check, do 7 divided by 30 in a calculator, and you will get 0.233 repeating)
