0.72¯¯¯¯¯ can be represented as the infinite decimal 0.727272...

Let x = 0.727272...

Then, 100x = 72.727272...

Subtracting x from 100x, we get:

(100x - x) = (72.727272... - 0.727272...)

99x = 72

Dividing both sides by 99:

x = 72/99

This rational number can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9:

x = (72/9) / (99/9)

x = 8/11

Therefore, 0.72¯¯¯¯¯ can be represented as the rational number 8/11 in simplest form.
