ok then... repeating fractions:

5/9 is 0.5555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555...
23/99 is 0.23232323232323232323232323232323232323232323232323232323...
317/999 is 0.317317317317317317317317317317317317317317317317317317317317...

can you see the pattern? Remember too that some of these fractions may simplify, so that
45/99, which is 0.45454545454545454545454545454545 simplifies to 5/11.

So: 0.88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888... is? :-)
