Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

Let n = the repeating, non-terminating number 0.666...

We now have n = 0.666666...

We want the number n in the form of a fraction.

Since only 1 digit repeats, the 6, use a 1 followed by 1 zero, which means the number 10. Now multiply both sides by 10 and write the original equation below it.

10n = 6.666666...

n = 0.666666...

Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation.

9n = 6

n = 6/9

n = 2/3
