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
<u>- x = 0.5555… or 0.5</u>
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:
<span><u>9x</u> = <u>5.0</u>
9 9</span>
<span>
<span><span>
<span>
<span>Therefore, x = <u>5
</u> 9</span>
</span>
</span>
</span></span>
The answer is definitely -4 1/8
