Convert the following repeating decimal to a fraction in simplest form .53

9514 1404 393

  53/99

Step-by-step explanation:

When an n-digit repeat begins at the decimal point, the repeating digits can be placed over an equal number of 9s to make a fraction. Sometimes, that fraction can be reduced to lower terms.

If the repeat does not start at the decimal point, the conversion can be done as follows.

For a number x with a decimal fraction that has n digits repeating, multiply by 10^n, subtract x and then divide by (10^n -1).

The fraction will be ...

  (x·10^n -x)/(10^n -1) . . . where x has n repeating digits in the decimal fraction

Here, that looks like ...
