Answer:

8/10+7/9+39/90

Explanation:

expressing something in the form p/q means basically make it a fraction.

.8 = 80/100

.7bar= .77777777777 (7/9)

0.43 (bar on 3 only is)= 0.433333333333333

how to make a fraction for .777777bar

10x = 7.777777777

X = .7777777777

subtract 10x-x

we get 7/9 for .7777 (10x-x = 9 thats the denominator and, 7.7777-.7777 = 7.)

how to make a fraction for .43bar for 3 only

100x = 43.3333333333

10x = 4.33333333333

100x-10x = 43-4

43-4 = 39, and the 333333333 cancel out 39/90
