To convert the repeating decimal \( 0.14\overline{14} \) into a fraction, we can follow these steps:

Let \( x = 0.14\overline{14} \).

First, multiply \( x \) by 100 to shift the decimal point two places to the right:

\[ 100x = 14.14\overline{14} \]

Next, multiply \( x \) by 10000 to shift the decimal point four places to the right:

\[ 10000x = 1414.14\overline{14} \]

Now, subtract the first equation from the second:

\[ 10000x - 100x = 1414.14\overline{14} - 14.14\overline{14} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 9900x = 1400 \]

Now, solving for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{1400}{9900} \]

Next, we can simplify the fraction:

\[ \frac{1400 \div 100}{9900 \div 100} = \frac{14}{99} \]

Thus, the repeating decimal \( 0.14\overline{14} \) as a fraction is \( \frac{14}{99} \).

Now based on your options regarding \( 0.14\overline{14} \):

  1. \( \frac{7}{50} \)
  2. \( \frac{14}{101} \)
  3. \( \frac{7}{500} \)
  4. \( \frac{14}{99} \)

None of the provided options match \( \frac{14}{99} \).

If you meant \( 0.14\) (which is not repeating), that would be a different case. Since we were processing \( 0.14\overline{14} \), the correct answer is not present in your responses. However, if it was \( 0.14\) alone, the answer would be \( \frac{14}{100} = \frac{7}{50}\).

Please clarify if you were asking about a different repeating decimal.

just tell me the answer

The fraction representation of \( 0.14\overline{14} \) does not match any of the provided options. However, if you're looking for \( 0.14 \) (not repeating), the correct answer would be \( \frac{7}{50} \).

If you are specifically looking to represent \( 0.14\overline{14} \), the correct fraction is \( \frac{14}{99} \), which is not among the options you've listed.

If forced to choose from the options you provided, the answer that seems most appropriate for a non-repeating \( 0.14 \) would be:

\( \frac{7}{50} \).
