Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: First, create an equation that represents the repeating decimal that you want to convert to a fraction

x = 2.267267.... (1)

There are 3 repeating decimals, multiply both sides of the equation by 103 = 1000 so that both equations have the same repeating digits to the right of the decimal point

1000x = 2267.267267... (2)

Subtract the equation (1) from equation (2)

1000x

x =

= 2267.267267...

2.267267...

999x = 2265

Solve for the x in the equation to determine the equivalent fraction.

x =

2265

999

Since the greatest common factor of 2265 and 999 is 3, we can simplify the fraction and show the same amount

2265

999

=

2265 ÷ 3

999 ÷ 3

=

755

333

Therefore, 755/333 is simplified fraction of 2.267 repeating. Since this is an improper fraction, converted to mixed number is:

755

333

= 2
