What is the rational number equivalent to 3 point 12 with a bar over 12? 3 and 4 over 33 3 and 8 over 33 3 and 10 over 39 3 and 5 over 39

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let x = 3.12121212121212.... notice how the 12 portion repeats itself forever

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if we were to multiply both sides by 100, then we'd have x = 3.12121212121212.... 100x = 312.121212121212.... the decimal point will move 2 spots over to the right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now subtract x and 100x |dw:1469240758210:dw|
