Answer:


(125)/(999)

Explanation:

Create 2 equations with the repeating numbers 125 placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.125125125 → (1) ← multiply both sides by 1000 )

1000x = 125.125125125 → (2)

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

999x = 125 ( divide both sides by 999 )

x =
(125)/(999) ← in the form
(p)/(q)
