Converting a repeating decimal to a fraction can be a bit more complex than a terminating decimal, but it can be done by following the steps below.
Step 1: Let x equal the repeating decimal: x = 0.0909090909...
Step 2: Multiply x by a power of 10 to shift the decimal point to the right until the repeating part aligns: 100x = 9.0909090909...
Step 3: Subtract the original equation (Step 1) from this equation: 100x - x = 9.0909090909... - 0.0909090909... 99x = 9
Step 4: Solve for x by dividing both sides by 99: x = 9/99 Step 5: Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 9 and 99, which is 9: 9/99 = 1/11
