The following problem is from both the 2022 AMC 10A #1 and 2022 AMC 12A #1, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem

What is the value of \[3+\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{3+\frac13}}?\] $\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{31}{10}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{49}{15}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{33}{10}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{109}{33}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{15}{4}$

Solution

We have \begin{align*} 3+\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{3+\frac13}} &= 3+\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{\left(\frac{10}{3}\right)}} \\ &= 3+\frac{1}{3+\frac{3}{10}} \\ &= 3+\frac{1}{\left(\frac{33}{10}\right)} \\ &= 3+\frac{10}{33} \\ &= \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{109}{33}}. \end{align*} ~MRENTHUSIASM
