Answer:


(131)/(99)

Explanation:

Let


x=1.323232...

Multiply x by a power of
10, one that keeps the decimal part of the number the same:


100x=132.3232..

Subtract
x from
\\100x


100x-x=132.3232...-1.3232...=131

The repeating decimals should cancel out


\\99x=131

solve for x

Divide by
99 both sides


x=(131)/(99)
