1. Write down the repeating decimal as "0.474747..."
2. Multiply the decimal by a power of 10 so that all the repeating digits are to the right of the decimal point. In this case, multiply by 100 to get "47.474747..."
3. Assign a variable (x) to the repeating decimal: x = 0.474747...
4. Subtract the original decimal from the multiplied decimal: 100x - x = 47.474747... - 0.474747...
5. Simplify the subtraction: 99x = 47
6. Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 99: x = 47/99
7. Therefore, the fraction equivalent of the repeating decimal 0.474747... is 47/99.
