Answer: The decimal 0.88888.... represented by the fraction
(8)/(9)

Explanation:

Since we have given that

0.888888....

So, Let x = 0.88888....=
0.\bar{8} -----(1)

Now, multiply by 10 on both sides, we get that


10x=8.8888.....=8.\bar{8}----------(2)

Now, Subtracting (1) from (2), we get that


10x-x=8.\bar{8}-0.\bar{8}\\\\9x=8\\\\x=(8)/(9)

Hence, the decimal 0.88888.... represented by the fraction
(8)/(9)
