... Remember: Infinite repeating decimals are usually represented by putting a line over (sometimes under) the shortest block of repeating decimals. Every infinite repeating decimal can be expressed as a fraction. 1) Ask yourself, how many numbers repeat? 1 number 2) Assign a variable for the decimal. ...
