how do you write 0.8 continuing as a fraction?

Sagot :

x = 0.8888

Multiply 10 to both sides:

10x = 8.8888

Subtract the two equations:

10x - x = 8.8888 - 0.8888

9x = 8

Divide 9 to both sides:

x = 8/9
[tex]x=0.8888... \\ 10x=8.8888... \\ 10x-x=8.8888...-0.8888... \\ 9x=8 \\ x=\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

The fraction is 8/9.
