To convert the repeating decimal \(0.474747...\) to a fraction, you can follow these steps in order:

  1. \( x = 0.474747... \)
  2. \( 100x = 47.474747... \)
  3. \( 100x - x = 47.474747... - 0.474747... \)

  5. \( x = \frac{47}{99} \)

So the correct order of the steps is:

  1. \( x = 0.474747... \)
  2. \( 100x = 47.474747... \)
  3. \( 100x - x = 47.474747... - 0.474747... \)
  4. \( 99x = 47 \)
  5. \( x = \frac{47}{99} \)
