5Exercise: Recurring decimal numbers

The following sum occurs: 1+0.1+0.01+0.001+1+0.1+0.01+0.001+\dots

Think about: 0.2=29, 0.3=39=13, 0.7=79, and so on0.\overline{2}=\frac{2}{9},\ 0.\overline{3}=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3},\ 0.\overline{7}=\frac{7}{9},\ \text{and so on}

  1. Write the three successors of the summand 0.001. Describe how the sum is built up.

  2. Calculate the value of the above sum.

  3. Calculate: 30.20.020.002...3-0.2-0.02-0.002-...
