What is the rational number equivalent to 3 point 12 with a bar over 12?

3 and 4 over 33
3 and 8 over 33
3 and 10 over 39
3 and 5 over 39

Answer :

[tex]\frac{12}{100}=0.12[/tex]

To get the 0.12 to repeat, the trick is to subtract 1 from the denominator

[tex]\frac{12}{99}=0.12121212...[/tex]

Then reduce the fraction.

[tex]\frac{12}{99}={4}{33}[/tex]

now add the 3 to get

[tex]3.12121212.... = 3\frac{4}{33}[/tex]
