We can apply a handy trick to solve this problem.
Let's set a variable. Let's set \( x=0.29\overline{6}\)
We want to put x in terms of a fraction.
Now, for that value of x, we have \(10 x = 2.96\overline{6}\)
This is important, as now we subtract x from 10x. We get
\(10x-x = 2.96\overline{6}-0.29\overline{6}\)
Since the repeating decimal cancels out, we have
\(9 x = 2.67\).
Now, we simply solve for x. We have
\(x = \frac{2.67}{9}\)
\(x=\frac{2.67}{9}\times \frac{100}{100}= \frac{267}{900}\)
\(x = \frac{89}{300}\)
Thus, our final answer is 89/300.
Thanks! :)
