Answer:

0.55555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555

Explanation:

The fraction bar means "divided by".

The problem can be read as "5 divided by 9".

9 goes into 50 5 times. 9 times 5 is 45.

50-45=5

This pattern will continue forever as a repeating decimal.

To write this number write 0.5 with a line above the 5.
