olu

Answer 1

The prove is explained below:

Explanation:

The computation is given below:

Here we needed two equations

Let us assume x = 0.555 --------------- (1)

Now if multiplied it by 10 to the both sides

So, it would be

10x = 5.555............(2)

Now deduct equation 1 from equation 2 in order to remove the recurring decimals

(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 )

9x = 5 (divided the both sides by 9 )

So x = 5 by 9
