Given: 0.1212121212..... repeating ; write that value as a fraction;
______________________________________________________
In other words; we are given: "0.1212121212..... repeating infinitely" ;
→ that is to say; "0.12 ... ; {the "12" decimal portion repeats infinitely} ;
_______________________________________________________
→ We write this value, as a fraction, as: "12/99" ;
__________________________________________
→Explanation:
__________________________________________
Note: "0.99999999...... repeating infinitely; = "1" .
_________________________________________
→Since:
Let us say that we have:
"x = 0.999999 ; repeating infinitely;
In order words, let us say we have: "x = 0.9.... ; the "9" decimal repeats infinitely;
_____________________________________________________
Then "10x" ; (that is: "10" multlipled by "x"; or "10*x" or "10x" ); is equal to:
"10" * (0.999999.....) = 9.99999999...... (the "9" decimal repeats infinitely);
in other words: 10x = 9.99999999....
Divide each side by "10" ;
to get "x = 0.9999999....." ; the decimal "9" repeats indefinitely...." ;
But if you have: "10x = 10" ; divide each side of the equation by "10" ;
you get: "x = 1" .

Also, if "x = 0.9999...(repeating infinitely);
then: 10x = 9.99999.
_______________________________________________
10x = 9.999999999999999......
− x = 0.999999999999999.......
_____________________________________
9x = 9.00000000000000000000.....
→ 9x = 9 ;
Divide each side of the equation; to get;
9x /9 = 9/ 9 ; to get: x = 1 ; and we have: x = 0.9999.... ; so
x= 0.99999.... = 1 ;
__________________________________________________
So, if the numbers "12" is repeating, we divie "12" by "99" ;
that is; we divide "12" by "two 9's" ; since "12" is a "TWO-digit number"; a "two-digit number" is being repeated infinitely.
________________________________________
So; 0.12121212.....(the "12" is the decimal that repeats infinitely);
= 12/99 ; which can be simplified;
Divide each side (both the numerator AND the denominator); by "3" ;
_________________________________________
" 12/99 " = "(12÷3) / (99÷3) = 4/33 " .
