<div class="c2h-answers"><span class="c2h-answer-order"></span><span class="c2h-answer-content"><span class="c2h-answer">Let, $x=0.003 \overline{52}$<br/>Obviously, there are three digits on the right side of the decimal point that have no bars.So, first we need to multiply both sides. $x$ by $10^{3}$ In this way, there are only repeated decimals left on the right side of the decimal point.<br/>$1000 x=3 . \overline{52}$<br/>$1000 x=3+0.52$<br/>$1000 x=3+\frac{52}{99}$<br/>$1000 x=\frac{3 \times 99+52}{99}$<br/>$1000 x=\frac{297+52}{99}$<br/>$1000 x=\frac{349}{99}$<br/>$x=\frac{349}{99000}$<br/>Therefore, the decimal form of the given number is. $x=\frac{349}{99000}$. </span></span>
