$109/333$

We first let 0.327 (327 being repeated) be $x$ .

Since $x$ is recurring in 3 decimal places, we multiply it by 1000.

$1000x = 327.327$

Next, we subtract them.

$1000x - x = 327.327 - 0.327$

$999x = 327$

Lastly, we divide both sides by 999 to get $x$ as a fraction.

$x = 327/999$

$= 109/333$
