The given number 0.8888... is a repeating decimal, which is a rational number.
To write it as a quotient of two integers in simplest form, we can let x = 0.8888...
Multiplying both sides by 10, we get 10x = 8.8888...
Subtracting x from 10x, we get 9x = 8
Dividing by 9, x = 8/9
Therefore, 0.8888... = 8/9.
Identify the class of number given as 0.8888..., then write the given number as the quotient of two integers in it's simplest form
