    The answer is 0.444.

    Note the following pattern for repeating decimals:

    0.22222222 ... = 2/9

    0.54545454 ... = 54/99

    0.298298298 ... = 298/999

    Division by 9's causes the repeating pattern.

    Note the pattern if zeros precede the repeating decimal:

    0.022222222 ... = 2/90

    0.00054545454 ... = 54/99000

    0.00298298298 ... = 298/99900

    Adding zero's to the denominator adds zero's before the repeating decimal.

    To convert a decimal that begins with a non-repeating part, such as 0.21456456456456456 ..., to a fraction, write it as the sum of the non-repeating part and the repeating part.

    0.21 + 0.00456456456456456 ...

    Next, convert each of these decimals to fractions. The first decimal has a divisor of power ten. The second decimal (which repeats) is converted according to the pattern given above.

    21/100 + 456/99900

    Now add these fraction by expressing both with a common divisor

    20979/99900 + 456/99900

    and add.

    21435/99900

    Finally simplify it to lowest terms

    1429/6660

    and check on your calculator or with long division.

    = 0.2145645645 ...
