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.
