Answer (all three are correct):

1.21216(7)

7273/6000


1(1273)/(6000)

Explanation:

We can split this number, 7.273, into 7.2 + 0.073

7.2/6 = 1.2 because the decimal in 7.2 is one place to the left. So if you did 72/6 = 12, you have to add the decimal point 1 place to the left.

0.073/6 This one is hard

The decimal in 0.073 is 3 places to the left. Now we need to do 73/6 then add the decimal point 3 places to the left of the quotient or divide the quotient by 1000. 73/6 =
12(1)/(6)

We can't add the decimal point to a fraction, so we can divide it by 2


(73)/(6)/(1000)/(1)= (73)/(6)*(1)/(1000) = 73/6000 = 0.01216(7)

The parenthesis around 7 means repeating

1.2 + 0.01216(7) = 1.21216(7)

In fraction form, 1.2 = 7200/6000


(7200)/(6000)+(73)/(6000) = (7273)/(6000)

1.21216(7) is the same as 7273/6000 or 1 73/6000

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!
