Short Answer

Expert verified

The ratio of \(0.\bar 8 = \frac{8}{9}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given and to find

\(0.\bar 8 = 0.888888....\) ( given)

To find the ratio of \(0.\bar 8 = \frac{8}{9}\)

02

Finding the ratio 

Multiply 10 both sides of the equation

\(\begin{aligned}10Xx &= 10X0.88888......\\10x &= 8.888.....\\10x &= 8 + 0.888...\end{aligned}\)

We know

\(x = 0.8888\)so, putting x in place of 0.888 so we get

\(\begin{aligned}10x = 8 + x\\10x - x = 8\\9x = 8\\\end{aligned}\)

\(x = \frac{8}{9}\)

Hence, the ratio of \(0.\bar 8 = 0.8888...\) is\(\frac{8}{9}\).
