Answer:

115/198

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

First off, we'll move the non-repeating part in the decimal to the left-side, by doing a division by a power of 10.

then we'll equate the value to some variable, and move the repeating part over to the left as well.

anyhow, the idea being, we can just use that variable, say "x" for the repeating bit, let's proceed,

$\bf 0.580\overline{80}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{5.80\overline{80}}{10}}\qquad \textit{now, let's say }x= 5.80\overline{80}\\\\ -------------------------------$

$\bf thus\qquad \begin{array}{llll} 100\cdot x&=&580.80\overline{80}\\ &&575+5.80\overline{80}\\ &&575+x \end{array}\qquad \implies 100x=575+x \\\\\\ 99x=575\implies x=\cfrac{575}{99}\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{\cfrac{5.80\overline{80}}{10}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{575}{99}\quad }{10} \\\\\\ \cfrac{\quad \frac{575}{99}\quad }{\frac{10}{1}}\implies \cfrac{575}{99}\cdot \cfrac{1}{10}\implies \cfrac{575}{990}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{115}{198}}$

and you can check that in your calculator.
