A couple of friends didn't figure it out for a while, but it is pretty easy I think.

Solve for x and y where:

x/y = .xy
In words for those of you keen on math grammar:
X divided by Y equals point X Y.

Where .xy is any decimal rounded to two decimal places.

X and Y are both 9.

Well, if you're rounding

3/8 = .38

Oh and I get the 9/9 = .9bar above

Thats not "math grammar," thats some stupid crap that was made up by someone who doesnt know who to utilize variables.

And it could be either 1/6 = 0.166666..
or 3/8 = 0.375 rounded to 0.38
or 8/9 = 0.888888... rounded to 0.89

9/9 = 1

not .9bar, tho in the case of this stupid "riddle" where he lets you round it, then yes you are right in that .99 is basically 1.

Oh, but .9bar does equal 1

2/3 = 6/9 = .6bar

If you had a brain, you wouldve realized that I typed "how" far too quickly, and ended up with "who."  Nice little sardonic jab you had though.

x/y = xy/10?

x=1, y=10





ETA the following:



x/y = .xy



converts to



x/y = xy/100



simplifying



100x/y = xy



100x = x y^2



100 = y^2



10 = y
1 / 10 = .1     =  .(1)(10) = .1

OP doesnt know "math grammar."

I think what he was trying to say is

X/Y = X/10 + Y/100

or

X/Y = 0.1X + 0.01Y


Closest answer with just positive single-digit integers is X=8, Y=9
