Firts, Let 
be the repeated decimal that we are trying to convert , so 
equation (1)
Next, lets find how many digits are repeating:
It is pretty cleat that 90 is repeating, and 90 has two digits. So we are going to multiply our equation by 100 to move the decimal point two places:
(2)
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2):
Solve for
We can conclude that 10.9090909091... expressed as a rational number, i<span>n the form pq where p and q are positive integers with no common factors, is </span>

My estimated answer for 1 is x=1.59 or x=-1.26 and my exact answer is (in word form) x= 1 plus or minus the square root of 73 over 6. my estimated answer for 2 is x=-0.34 or x=1.74 and my exact answer (in word form) is x= -7 plus or minus the square root of 109 over -10. I took a picture of my work and hopefully you can read it
