Answer:

[tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we require 2 equations with the repeating digits placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.888.. (1) ← multiply both sides by 10

10x = 8.888.. (2)

subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits

9x = 8 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
