  1. (i) 0.666…
    Let x = 0.666…
    ⇒ x = 0.6666… …(i)
    Multiplying equation (i) by 10 both sides
    10x = 6.6666..
    ⇒ 10x = 6 + 0.6666…
    ⇒ 10x = 6 + x [From equation (i)]
    ⇒ 10x x = 6
    ⇒ 9x = 6
    ⇒ x = 6/9 = 2/3
    (ii) 0.4777…
    Let x = 0.4777…
    ⇒ x = 0.47777… …(i)
    Multiplying equation (i) by 10 both sides
    ⇒ 10x = 4.7777… …(ii)
    Multiplying equation (ii) by 10 both sides
    ⇒ 100x = 47.7777…
    ⇒ 100x = 43 + 4.7777…
    ⇒ 100x = 43 + 10x [From equation (ii)]
    ⇒ 100x = 10x = 43
    ⇒ 90x = 43
    ⇒ x = 43/90
    (iii) 0.001001001…
    Let x = 0.001001001…
    ⇒ x = 0.001001001…
    Multiplying equation (i) by 1000 both sides
    1000x = 1.001001001…
    ⇒ 1000x = 1 + 0.001001001…
    ⇒ 1000x = 1 = x [From equation (i)]
    ⇒ 1000x – x = 1
    ⇒ 999x = 1
    ⇒ x = 1/999
