Answer:

14/33

Explanation:

To write 0.424242 as a fraction you have to write 0.424242 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.

0.424242 = 0.424242/1 = 4.24242/10 = 42.4242/100 = 424.242/1000 = 4242.42/10000 = 42424.2/100000 = 424242/1000000

".424242" was replaced by "(424242/1000000)".

simplified = 212121 /500000

then i went online and got the 212121 /500000 simplified and it gave me 14/33

i hope this helps :)
