Answer:


(13)/(99)

Explanation:

We require to create 2 equations with the repeating numbers after the decimal point.

let x = 0.1313.... → (1) ( multiply both sides by 100 )

100x = 13.1313.... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating numbers

99x = 13 ( divide both sides by 99 )

x =
(13)/(99)

That is 0.1313.... =
(13)/(99)
