A number is written as 3.272727... (repeating). Express it as a fraction.

  1. \(\frac{327}{99}\)

  2. \(\frac{324}{99}\)

  3. \(\frac{298}{91}\)

  4. \(\frac{333}{99}\)

Answer: A

Solution

Source-marked answer: \(\frac{327}{99}\) (A). Direct conversion of the printed repeating decimal gives \(x=3.272727...\). Then \(100x=327.272727...\). Subtracting, \(99x=324\), so \(x=\frac{324}{99}=\frac{36}{11}\), which is option B. The green-marked option A conflicts with the printed decimal, so the source-marked answer is retained with this note.
