Need quick help with this math

Answer 1

Answer:

Eleanor and Harold

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal $0.13\overline{7}$ consists of the sum of two terminating decimals and one non-terminating decimal:

$0.13\overline{7}=0.1+0.03+0.00\overline{7}$

Therefore, we have:

$0.13\overline{7}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{100}+\frac{7}{900},\\\\0.13\overline{7}=\frac{10}{100}+\frac{3}{100}+\frac{7}{900},\\\\0.13\overline{7}=\frac{13}{100}+\frac{7}{900}=\frac{117}{900}+\frac{7}{900}=\boxed{\frac{124}{900}}$

Hector's answer is equivalent but not simplified. However, they are both technically correct.

Answer 2

Both of them are correct in my opinion
