Answer:

  53/99

Step-by-step explanation:

When an n-digit repeat begins at the decimal point, the repeating digits can be placed over an equal number of 9s to make a fraction. Sometimes, that fraction can be reduced to lower terms.

  0.\overline{53}=\boxed{\dfrac{53}{99}}

__

If the repeat does not start at the decimal point, the conversion can be done as follows.

For a number x with a decimal fraction that has n digits repeating, multiply by 10^n, subtract x and then divide by (10^n -1).

The fraction will be ...

  (x·10^n -x)/(10^n -1) . . . where x has n repeating digits in the decimal fraction

Here, that looks like ...

  x=0.\overline{53}\\100x=53.\overline{53}\\100x-x=53.\overline{53}-0.\overline{53}=53\\99x=53\\x=\dfrac{53}{99}

Solve y
Ksivusya [100]

The value of y in -3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right) is 6/7

<h3>How to solve for y?</h3>

The equation is given as:

-3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right)

Open the bracket

-3 = 7y - 9

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

7y = 6

Divide both sides by 7

y= 6/7

Hence, the value of y in -3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right) is 6/7
