Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{157}{110}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the recurring digits placed after the decimal point.

let x = 1.4272727.. ( multiply both sides by 10 and 1000 )

10x = 14.2727.... (1)

1000x = 1427.2727.... (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal

990x = 1413 ( divide both sides by 990 )

x = $\frac{1413}{990}$ = $\frac{157}{110}$
