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

Verified Answer :

\(\frac{12}{100}=0.12\)

To get the 0.12 to repeat, the trick is to subtract 1 from the denominator

\(\frac{12}{99}=0.12121212...\)

Then reduce the fraction.

\(\frac{12}{99}={4}{33}\)

now add the 3 to get

\(3.12121212.... = 3\frac{4}{33}\)
