Find the rational number whose decimal form is `1.bar(345)`.

Answer» We have
`1.bar(345)=1.3454545...oo`
`=1.3+0.045+0.00045+...oo`
`=1.3+{45/10^(3)+45/10^(5)+...oo}`
`=1.3+((45/10^(3)))/((1-1/10^(2)))" "[("this being a GS in which"),(a=45/10^(3) and r=1/10^(2) lt 1)]`
`=1.3+45/1000xx100/99=13/10+45/990=(13/10+1/22)`
`=(143+5)/110=148/110=74/55`.
Hence, `1.bar(345)=74/55`.
