Answer: It can be expressed as


(4)/(10)+(4)/(100)+(4)/(1000)+........

Explanation:

Since we have given that 0.44444.......

We need geometric series that represents as a fraction.

so, it can be written as

0.4+0.04+0.004+0.0004...............

But as we are required to write it as a fraction , So, it becomes,


(4)/(10)+(4)/(100)+(4)/(1000)+(4)/(10000)............

and it is a geometric series.

Because it has first term = a =
(4)/(10)

and common ratio = r =
(a_2)/(a_1)=((4)/(100))/((4)/(10))=(1)/(10)

Hence, it can be expressed as


(4)/(10)+(4)/(100)+(4)/(1000)+........
