#109/333#

We first let 0.327 (327 being repeated) be #x#.

Since #x# is recurring in 3 decimal places, we multiply it by 1000.

#1000x = 327.327#

Next, we subtract them.

#1000x - x = 327.327 - 0.327#

#999x = 327#

Lastly, we divide both sides by 999 to get #x# as a fraction.

#x = 327/999#

#= 109/333#
