Express $3.\bar{7}$ as a common fraction.

 

$$\left\begin{array}{rcl}
10 \times 3.\overline{7} &=& 37.\overline{7} \\
1 \times 3.\overline{7} &=& 3.\overline{7} \\
\hline
\end{array} \right\} -$$

 

$$\begin{array}{rcl}
(10-1)\times 3.\overline{7} &=& 37.\overline{7} - 3.\overline{7} \\
9 \times 3.\overline{7} &=& 34 \\
9 \times 3.\overline{7} &=& 34 \qquad | \qquad : 9 \\
3.\overline{7} &=& \dfrac{34}{9}
\end{array}$$
