Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 0.8333.....

Then 10x = 8.333...

Now we subtract x from 10x.

               10x = 8.333...

       -           x = 0.833...

    -----------------------------

                  9x = 7.5

9x = 7.5

9x/9 = 7.5/9

x = 7.5/9 = 15/18 = 5/6

Answer: 5/6
