You're letting x = 0.325325325…, which means

1000x = 325.325325325… (or 325.325, but pretend the underline is actually an overline)

Then the next box you'd fill in with 0.325325325… (or 0.325).

Subtracting these, you have

1000x - x = 325.325325325… - 0.325325325…

999x = 325

Finally, solving for x gives

x = 325/999
