There is nothing in the post that indicates these are repeating decimals; the numbers shown are all terminating.

If they are supposed to be repeating decimals, then the post is deficient; if not, then tutor @CubeyThePenguin wrongly assumed something that was not in the post.

0.111111 = 111111/1000000
3.222222 = 3222222/1000000
etc., etc.
