In summary, to find 0.13r as a fraction, you can use the shortcut of splitting it into 0.1 and 0.033333 and then adding the fractions together. This can be done by thinking of 0.033333 as 1/30 and 0.1 as 1/10, which simplifies to 4/30. Finding a common factor between 4 and 30, we get 2, and simplifying 4/30 gives us 2/15.

No, you need to find a common factor between 4 and 30.

You need to find a number that divides perfectly into both 4 and 30. For example, a common factor of 6 and 4 is two. Since when you divide 6 by 2 you obtain 3 and when you divide 4 by 2 you obtain 2.
