Answer:
1 [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the repeating digit placed after the decimal point
let x = 1.555... (2) Multiply both sides by 10
10x = 15.555.... (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits
9x = 14 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = [tex]\frac{14}{9}[/tex] = 1 [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]
