Answer:

23/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first let 2.5 (5 being repeated) be x

Since x is recurring in 1 decimal places, we multiply it by 10.

10x = 25.5

Next, we subtract them.

10 x - x = 25.5 - 2.5

9x = 23

Lastly, we divide both sides by 9 to get x

as a fraction.

x =23/9

I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU.
