This section, we learned how to write a repeating decimal into a fraction. When we look at a repeating decimal, we can tell that it is the sum of many fractions. For example, 0.4444.....could be written as 0.4+0.04+0.004........ to write the whole thing into a fraction, we have to find the rate. The rate could be found by diving any consective terms. In this case is 1/10. The formula for thia is S= a/1-r. a represents the first term. the sum that we get would be this decimal as fraction. One important thing to remember is that, when r is greater than 1. The sum do not exist.
