Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are at least 2 ways you could do this. The best way is to use algebra. The trick is to equate 0.444444 to x, and then create a second equation by multiplying the first equation by 10. In doing this, you can subtract the two equations and that will get rid of the decimal.
10x = 4.444444...
x = .444444... Now subtract these 2 equation
9x = 4 Divide both sides by 9
9x/9 = 4/9
x = 4/9.
Since you are given choices, you could put each one into your calculator.
1/9 = 0,111111 not the answer.
40 /99 = 0.40404040 which is close but not the answer.
4 / 99 = 0.040404 ... which again is close but not the answer.
