To convert  .07 (repeating) to  a fraction

 

Let   x  = .07  (repeating)

Multiply both sides   by  100

100x  =  7.07 (repeating)

 

100x  - x     =   7.07(repeating)  -  .07(repeating)

99x  =  7

x  = 7/99

 

So

 

.07 -  .07 (repeating)  =

 

7/100  -  7/99  =

 

7(99) - 7(100)

___________   = 

100 *  99

 

7 (99 - 100)

__________   = 

     9900

 

7 (-1)

______   =

  9900

 

   -7 

_____

 9900
