(a) Let x = 3.12333…. Then 100x = 312.333… and 1000x = 3123.333…, so that

1000x - 100x = 3123.333… - 312.333…

==> 900x = 2811

==> x = 2811/900 = 937/300

(b) x = 4.38555… ==> 100x = 438.555… and 1000x = 4385.555…

==> 900x = 3947

==> x = 3947/900

(c) x = 37.222… ==> 10x = 372.222…

==> 9x = 335

==> x = 335/9

(d) x = 16.292929… ==> 100x = 1629.292929…

==> 99x = 1613

==> x = 1613/99

(e) x = 2.333… ==> 10x = 23.333…

==> 9x = 21

==> x = 21/9 = 7/3
