 For this case we hace the following expression:
 0.66666666
 We observe that this expression represents two thirds of the unity that is one.
 Therefore, we can rewrite the decimal expression as a fraction.
 In this case, the fraction is given by:
 [tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
 Answer:
 0.66666666 as a fraction is:
 [tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

To turn [tex] 0.(6)=0.6666... [/tex] into a fraction you should do such steps:

1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .

2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by [tex] 10^n [/tex] to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by [tex] 10^1 = 10 [/tex]. Thus, you have [tex] 10x = 10 \cdot 0.666... [/tex] or [tex] 10x = 6.666.... [/tex].

3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore, [tex] 10x-x=6.666...-0.666...\\ 9x=6 [/tex].

4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction: [tex] 9x = 6 [/tex]. If you divide both sides by 9, you get [tex] x=\dfrac{6}{9} [/tex]. When simplified, you get that [tex] x=\dfrac{2}{3} [/tex].

Answer: [tex] 0.(6)=0.666... =\dfrac{2}{3} [/tex].
