Answer:


(62)/(99)

Explanation:

We require 2 equations with the repeated digits placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.6262..... (1) Multiply both sides by 100

100x = 62.6262.... (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeated digits

99x = 62 ( divide both sides by 99 )

x =
(62)/(99)

Then 0.6262... =
(62)/(99)
