Answer

$\frac{9}{10}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the decimal .9. In order to write this decimal as a fraction, we can divide .9 by 1 (which is equivalent to having .9 as the numerator and 1 as the denominator). $.9\div1=\frac{.9}{1}$ Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by factors of 1 until both have no decimal points. $\frac{.9}{1}=\frac{.9\times10}{1\times10}=\frac{9}{10}$ This fraction is in simplest form.
