4 13/33

Step-by-step explanation

If a decimal is repeating, then the fraction would be the repeating number (in this case, 39) over the largest "nine number." If the repeating decimal was only. 3 repeating then the fraction would be 3/9. If the fraction was. 789 repeating, then the fraction would be 784/999. My teacher used to call this the "nine rule" but that isn't the actual name, so don't call it that. It is a nice way of remembering it though. Also, don't forget the whole number. because the. 39 is repeating, that would be 39/99 as a fraction and then the whole number 4 in front of it - 4 39/99. also don't forget to simplify the fraction when you can. In this case, you can simplify 39/99 into 13/33 so the correct answer is 4 13/33.
