Solution
Let x = 0.00323232 ...(i)
On multiplying both sides of equation (i) by 100, we get
100x = 0.3232......... ...(ii)
On multiplying both sides of equation (ii) by 100, we get
10000x = 32.3232......... ...(iii)
On subtracting equation (ii) from equation (iii), we get
10000x – 100x = 32.32....... – 0.3232....
⇒ 9900x = 32
∴ `x = 32/9900 = 8/2475` ...[Dividing numerator and denominator by 4]
