Just to add a bit more theory, repeating decimals can be replicated by taking the replicating part and dividing by the number of 9's in the length of the repeating section.
For example:
0.4444... = 4/9
0.373737... = 37/99
0.123123123... = 123/999
So for your example, the fraction is 3 + 45/99, which ebaines then simplified.
