Di and Leo both write the decimal 2.55555555.. As a fraction.
Di’s fraction: 2 55/100
Leo’s fraction: 2 55/99

Leo is correct because a repeating decimal typically has 9s in the denominator

Who is correct and why?

Leo is correct. When converting a repeating decimal to a fraction, the number of 9s in the denominator is based on the number of repeating digits in the decimal representation. Since there is a repeating digit sequence of '55' in the decimal 2.55555555..., Leo's fraction of 2 55/99 is the correct representation for this repeating decimal.
