how do you do .72 repeated into a simplifyed fraction?

 

\(0.72= \frac{72}{100}=\frac{18}{25} \)

The Guest doesn't mean 0.72 he means \(0.\bar{7}\bar{2}\) for repeating decimals.

0.7272727272727272727......... divide by 100 = 0.00727272727...........

Let x = 0.727272727272727272727..........

x - (1/100) x = 0.72

(99/100)x = 0.72

99x = 72

x = 72/99 = 8/11.
