Hello. Today we're going to be rewriting the given fraction and decimal and percentage notation. So what we are given is 1/9 which can be rewritten as one divided by nine And one divided by nine is going to produce a repeating decimal of 0.1111 and continuing Now how can you simplify a repeating decimal? Well what you can go ahead and do is write the decimal but with the bar over the repeating digit as the bar indicates that the digit of one is going to be repeating infinitely. So 0.1 with a bar over one is going to be the percentage notation of the given fraction. Now how do we convert this decimal into a percentage While let's go ahead and rewrite the decimal with respect to three decimal places. So we're going to have 0.111 with the bar over the last one. And in order to convert this decimal into a percentage, we want to go ahead and multiply this decimal by Now multiplying this decimal by 100 is going to move the decimal two digits to the right. So again that's going to be one and two. And moving the decimal two digits to the right is going to produce the percentage of 11.1 repeating percent. And this is going to be the percentage notation for the given fraction. So the decimal notation for the given fraction is 0.1 with a bar over one. And the percentage notation is going to be 11.1 with a bar over the last one. And with that being said, the answer to this problem is going to be a So I hope this video helps you in understanding how to approach this problem, and I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video.
