Introduction

In mathematics, repeating decimals can be converted into fractions, making it easier to perform calculations and understand the underlying concepts. The given problem involves adding two repeating decimals, $0.\dot{4}$ and $0.0\dot{7}$ , and expressing the result as a fraction. To solve this problem, we need to convert the repeating decimals into fractions and then add them together.

Converting Repeating Decimals to Fractions

A repeating decimal can be represented as a fraction using the formula:

0.\dot{a} = \frac{a}{9}

where $a$ is the repeating digit. For example, $0.\dot{7} = \frac{7}{9}$ .

Converting $0.\dot{4}$ to a Fraction

Using the formula above, we can convert $0.\dot{4}$ to a fraction as follows:

0.\dot{4} = \frac{4}{9}

Converting $0.0\dot{7}$ to a Fraction

To convert $0.0\dot{7}$ to a fraction, we need to consider the repeating part as a single digit. Let's represent $0.0\dot{7}$ as $x$ and multiply it by 10 to shift the decimal point:

10x = 0.07\dot{7}

Subtracting the original equation from the new equation, we get:

9x = 0.07

Now, we can convert $0.07$ to a fraction:

0.07 = \frac{7}{100}

Substituting this value back into the equation, we get:

9x = \frac{7}{100}

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{100}{7}$ , we get:

x = \frac{7}{900}
