Answer:

14/15

Explanation:

Let x = 0.9333...

Multiply this by 100:

100x = 93.333...

Multiply the first one by 10, as well:

10x = 9.333...

We now have:

100x = 93.333...

10x = 9.333...

Since the right of the decimal point for both numbers includes this repeating 3 part, we can simply subtract the two equations and cancel out the 3s:

100x - 10x = 93.333... - 9.333...

90x = 84

Divide by 90:

x = 84/90 = 14/15

The answer is thus 14/15.
