A rational number written in base eight is $\underline{ab} . \underline{cd}$, where all digits are nonzero. The same number in base twelve is $\underline{bb} . \underline{ba}$. Find the base-ten number $\underline{abc}$.
First, note that the first two digits will always be a positive number. We will start with base twelve because of its repetition. List all the positive numbers in base eight that have equal tens and ones digits in base 12.
$11_{12}=15_8$
$22_{12}=32_8$
$33_{12}=47_8$
$44_{12}=64_8$
$55_{12}=101_8$
We stop because we only can have two-digit numbers in base 8 and 101 is not a 2 digit number.
Compare the ones places to check if they are equal. We find that they are equal if $b=2$ or $b=4$.
Evaluating the places to the right side of the decimal point gives us $22.23_{12}$ or $44.46_{12}$.
When the numbers are converted into base 8, we get $32.14_8$ and $64.30_8$. Since $d\neq0$, the first value is correct. Compiling the necessary digits leaves us a final answer of $\boxed{321}$
