Answer:
0.1111.... = .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 0.1 repeating
To find : Which rational number equals 0.1111......
Solution : We have given 0. 11111.........
We can see there is only one number is repeating , we will multiply it by 10
Let x = 0.1111.......
Multiply both sides by 10
10x = 10 * 0.1111.......
10x = 1.1111.......
We can write it in terms of x
10x = 1. 000 + 0.11111....
10 x = 1 + x
On subtracting both sides by x
10 x -x = 1
9 x = 1
On dividing both sides by 9
x = .
0.1111.... = .
Therefore, 0.1111.... = .

Answer:
Here we will use the relationships:
And a number:
is between 0 and 1 if a is positive and larger than 1, and n is negative.
if a is positive and 0 < a < 1, then we need to have n positive such that:
0 < a^n < 1
A)
This is between zero and 1,
B)
This is greater than 1, because the exponent is positive.
C)
Because a is smaller than 1, and the exponent is positive, then the expression is between 0 and 1.
D)
The exponent is negative (and pair) then the expression is between 0 and 1.
Remember that when the exponent is pair, we always have that:
(-N)^m = (N)^m
So (-7)^-2 = 7^-2
