| |  in form of fraction
this is my question,
write in form of fraction, simplest form.
ignore the ?'s, i need them there for the dots to stay above the numbers
? . .
0.35
is this it?
? . . ?????????? . .
0.35 x 100= 35.35
? . . ?????? . .
0.35 x 1= 0.35
35.35 - 0.35= 35
35 x 99= 35 = 35 over 99, can't remember how to put it as a fraction
would this be right??

oops , i miss the 2 dots above . This is a recurring decimal , ie 0.353535353535...
let x=0.3535353535... ---- 1
100x=35.35353535... ------ 2
2-1 99x=35
x=35/99
This cant be simplified further .
