Question

Write 0.2 repeating as a fraction in simplest form (The 0.2 is repeating, so the 2 has the repeating bar above it, just need someone to solve this, it would help a lot thanks.)

Answer 1

If x is the number 0.222…, then 10x = 2.222…. Subtracting x from 10x eliminates the fractional part, so that

10x - x = 2.222… - 0.222…

==> 9x = 2

and solving for x gives x = 2/9.
