Answer:

43/90

Explanation:

We want to express 0.47777... as a ratio of two integers. To do so, we need to multiply by 10^n, where n is the number of repeating decimals. Only 7 is repeating so we multiply 0.47777... by 10. The trick to do this is to let x=0.47777... In other words, what we are doing is the following:


x=0.47777...\\10x=4.7777....\\\text{Subtract x}\\10x-x=4.7777...-x\\9x=4.7777...-0.4777...\\9x=4.3\\x=4.3/9=43/90=0.4\overline{7}
