SP#6: Unit K Concept 10: Infinite Geometric Series with Repeating Decimals

 

This problem is all about how to find the infinite geometric series of repeating decimals (those pesky decimals that never end). It is really quite simple and fun. It is easy breezy and not too difficult. You can do it! Do not fear the repeating decimals.
     There are a few things that you must pay attention to. It is That you do not worry about any numbers to the left of the decimal point until the very end. Secondly is that you need to make sure you include the right amount of zeros. Third is that you make sure that when dividing a fraction by a fraction you multiply the numerator and the denominator by the reciprocal of the denominator. The rest is fairly simple. Do not fear you can do this.
