What is 0.37 with the 7 repeating in a fraction?

To convert the repeating decimal 0.37 into a fraction, follow these steps:

1. \({\textbf{Let}\space} x=0.3777...\)

2. \({\textbf{Multiply both sides of the equation by 10}}\)

\({\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space}10\cdot x=10\cdot0.3777...\)

$${\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space}10x=3.777...$$

3. $$(10x-x)=3.777…−0.377...$$

$${\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space}9x=3.4$$

$${\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space}x=\frac{3.4}{9}=\frac{1.7}{4}$$

Therefore, 0.3777...= 1.7/4
