Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's say that our fraction is x.

x=0.5555555...

Let's get rid of the repeating stuff. If you multiplied x by 10, the fraction would be equal to 5.5555555.....

x=0.55555555....

10x=5.5555555.....

What if we subtracted the first equation from the second? Then all of the repeating stuff would be gone!

9x=5

We divide both sides by 9.

x=5/9.

Have a wonderful day! :D
