Express 0.9393... as a fraction in its simplest form.
Let n = 0.9393... Multiply by 100 (because there 2 repeating digits)
100n = 93.9393... Subtract n from 100n.
100n - n = 99n = 93.9393... - 0.9393... = 93
99n = 93 Divide both sides by 99.
n+=+93%2F99 But n = 0.9393..., so:
0.9393+=+93%2F99 Simplify.
0.9393+=+31%2F33
