Answer: 16/33</h3>
It's in p/q form where p = 16 and q = 33.
=======================================================
Work Shown:
x = 0.484848.....
100x = 48.4848.....
I multiplied both sides by 100 to move the decimal over 2 spots. Both decimal values for x and 100x have an infinite string of "48"s repeated after the decimal point. When we subtract, those infinite strings will cancel out
100x - x = 99x
48.4848..... - 0.484848..... = 48
So after subtracting straight down, we have the new equation 99x = 48 which solves to x = 48/99
Divide both parts by the GCF 3 to fully reduce
48/3 = 16
99/3 = 33
Therefore, x = 48/99 = 16/33 = 0.484848...
I recommend using a calculator to confirm that 16/33 = 0.484848...
Side note: your calculator may round the last digit, but this is of course rounding error
