Our repeating decimal would be= 0.5555….
Let’s give 0.5555….. repeating decimal a variable of x:
x= 0.5555…. or 0.5(move 1 point to the right)
So ,10x = 5.5555 or 5.5
Now, Let’s do subtraction:
10x = 5.5555… or 5.5
- x = 0.5555… or 0.5
9x = 5.0 or 5.0
To get a fraction, provide a denominator the same with the numerator of variable x which is 9. Then divide the difference:
9x = 5.0
9 9 Therefore, x = 5
9
