You are the man! Every teacher I have had for math explains everything in such a difficult way. My teacher at Connections Academy was explaining how to turn repeating decimals into fractions and was telling us to first make it equal to a variable then divide each side by something... It was HORRIBLE! I decided to look it up online and thank God I found this. Thank you so, so much for taking the time to do this for kids. I really appreciate it and I am sure others do as well. Please keep posting

I'm a substitute teacher just out of college with very little teacher-training (gonna go to grad school for my master's in edu and teaching certification), and was trying to figure out how to teach my 5th graders this tomorrow. This video was very helpful; thank you for posting! :)

That's kind of a crazy one! If you do a search for "converting a repeating decimal to a fraction calculator" on Google you should see a tool at easycalculation(dot)com that will help.
By the way, yours work out to be: 53855143 / 16650000
I hope that helps! Keep working hard on your math! :-)

@MyMissBlueberry
With three decimal places it's thousandths, so 27/1000.
I hope that helps! :-)
