Answer

$\dfrac{1}{9}$

Work Step by Step

Sum of the first $n$ terms terms of a geometric sequence can be calculated as: $s_n=\dfrac{a_1}{(1-r)}$ $r$ refers to common ratio and $r=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1$ and $S_n=0.\overline{1}$ Apply the formula. $s_n=\dfrac{0.1}{(1-0.1)}=\dfrac{0.1}{0.9}=\dfrac{1}{9}$
