Question

What is the fractional form of over bar 0.8

Answer 1

`(8)/(9)`

Explanation:

We have to create 2 fractions with the repeating number placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.88.... → (1) ( multiply both sides by 10 )

10x = 8.88.... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2), eliminating the repeating decimal

9x = 8 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x =
`(8)/(9)`

Thus 0.888..... =
`(8)/(9)`

Answer 2

Explanation: If something (a number or pattern) in a decimal is repeating, then you can put it in fraction form like this. the pattern is 8 .
