what does 2 recurring mean?
is it 0.722 = 722/1000 = 361/500 or is it 0.7*2^2 = 0.7*4 = 0.28 = 28/100 = 7/25 ???

0.72r (just the 2 recurring) as a fraction.
--------
Times 10 --> 7.222...
Find n = 0.222...
----
10n= 2.222...
1n = 0.222...
--------------------- Subtract
9n = 2
n = 2/9
==================
7 + 2/9 = 65/9
(65/9)/10 = 65/90 = 13/18
=======================================
IDK what you mean in the other 2 problems.

0.72
Let n = 0.72 ------ eq (i)
10n = 7.2 --- Multiplying eq (i) by 10 ------ eq (ii)
Also, n = 0.722 ------ eq (iii)
100n = 72.2 --- Multiplying eq (iii) by 100 ------ eq (iv)
– 90n = - 65 ---------- Subtracting eq (iv) from eq (ii)
n, or fraction/number = %28-+65%29%2F%28-+90%29, or highlight%28highlight_green%28highlight%2813%2F18%29%29%29
