If I understand the question correctly, 48/100 reduces to 12/25.

What is 0.48 expressed as a fraction in simplest form? (just the 8 repeating)

 

Let y=0.4888888888.....

 

10y= 4.888888888...

    y=0.4888888888....

subtract

9y = 4.4

y=4.49=4490=2245

 

 

0.4˙8=2245

 

You need to check my working.   :)

Let's see Melody...

 

We have 4.¯8=10.4¯8.

4.¯8 can be rewritten as 489, or 449.

 

Then, we have 449110=2245.

 

Yes, that is right...smiley
