Answer :

First, we start to separate the whole part from the decimal part

[tex]1+0.888888888\ldots[/tex]

then equal the decimal part to x

[tex]x=0.8[/tex]

the number of digits that repeat itself is 1, so we multiply the equation by 10

[tex]10x=8.8[/tex]

subtract both equations

[tex]\begin{gathered} 10x-x=8.8-0.8 \\ 9x=8 \\ \\ x=\frac{8}{9_{}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

then we can write the decimal part as a fraction

[tex]\bar{0.88}=\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

then 1.888 can be writen as a mixed number like

[tex]1.8888\ldots=1\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
