Express the recurring decimal 0.125125125 ... as a rational number.

✓

Answer

$0.125125125 \ \dots=0.\overline{125}$ $=0.125+0.000125+0.000000125+\ \dots$ $=\frac{125}{10}^3\Big(1+\frac{1}{10^3}+\frac{1}{10^6}+\ \dots\Big)$ $=\frac{125}{10^3}\Bigg(\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{1000}}\Bigg)$ $=\frac{125}{1000}\Big(\frac{1000}{999}\Big)$ $0.125125125\ \dots=\frac{125}{999}$
