Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 0.555555556 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.555555556 becomes 0.555555556/1.

Step 3: Subtract the repeating part: 10x = 5.55555556 (1 decimal place repeats) Multiply by 9 to clear the repeating decimal: 9x = 5

 

Step 4: Solve for x: 9x = 5 x = 5/9

 

Thus, 0.555555556 can be written as a fraction 5/9.
