Hello,

Our lessons is being even harder.Not so, though.

Okay.

I want to ask if my mathematical solution was correct. I am not going to post the whole mathematical notation. So, just the answer. I hope, I am correct.

Terminating decimal to a fraction first.

346.435 = $\frac{346435}{1000}$

Repeating decimal to a fraction, for the second.
$0.000^{346}$
Please, the 346 number has a bar line on top, indicating it as a repeating fraction.

Therefore, my answer is, $\frac{346}{999000}$

The way to input a bar in Latex is
Code ( (Unknown Language)):
1.
2. 0.000\bar{346}
and it gives you this:
$0.000\bar{346}$

Err, you might want to check your result. It seems that you messed your Latex up and the result is unreadable. Write it in plain one-line equation if you have trouble with Latex.

$346\frac{435}{1000}=\frac {1000(346)+435}{1000}=\frac{346000+435}{1000}= \frac{346435}{1000}$
