Since there is one repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

10x = 3.3333…

Now, subtract both the values,

9x = 3

x = 3/9

= 1/3

Since there is one repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

10x = 52.2222…

Now, subtract both the values,

9x = 52 – 5

9x = 47

x = 47/9

Let x = 0.404040

Since there is two repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 100 on both sides, we get

100x = 40.404040…

Now, subtract both the values,

99x = 40

x = 40/99

0.404040… = 40/99

Since there is one non-repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

10x = 4.7777

Since there is one repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

100x = 47.7777

Now, subtract both the values,

90x = 47 – 4

90x = 43

x = 43/90

Since there is one non-repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

10x = 1.343434

Since there is two repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 100 on both sides, we get

1000x = 134.343434

Now, subtract both the values,

990x = 133

x = 133/990

Since there is three repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 1000 on both sides, we get

1000x = 1.001001

Now, subtract both the values,

999x = 1

x = 1/999
