    Draw fraction sign: >  /  or, ____


    Put 427 as the numerator. Then put a 1 in the denominator.


    How many numbers you see after the decimal point is the number of zeros you put next to the 1.


    Answer:  427/1000


     

    Let x = .427272727.....
    Then 100x = 42.72727272727
    So 100x - 0.3 = 42.427272727....
    i.e.
    100x - (3/10) = 42.42727272727....
    so
    100x - (3/10) - x = 42.42727272727.... - .4272727272727...
    i.e.
    99x - (3/10) = 42
    i.e.
    99x = 423/10
    i.e.
    x = 423/990 = 47/110
