Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Identify the repeating part of the decimal. Here, 0.333333... is the repeating part.

Step 2: Let x = 10.333333...

Step 3: Multiply x by 10 to shift the decimal point for the repeating part: 10x = 103.333333...

Step 4: Subtract the original x from 10x to eliminate the repeating part: 10x - x = 103.333333... - 10.333333... 9x = 93

Step 5: Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9: x = 93/9

Step 6: Simplify the fraction 93/9. The GCD of 93 and 9 is 3. 93/9 = 31/3

Hence, 10.333333333 can be written as a fraction 31/3.
