Express each of the following as a fraction in simplest form :$$ 0.\bar {8} $$

Solution
Verified by Toppr

$$ x= 0.\bar{8} $$ then,
$$ x = 0.8888....-------(1) $$
$$ \therefore 10x = 8.8888... --------(2) $$
On subtracting (1) from (2) we get,
$$9x = 8 \Rightarrow x = \dfrac {8}{9} $$
hence , $$ 0.\bar {8} = \dfrac {8}{9} $$
