Work Step by Step

$0.74999...=0.74+0.009+0.0009+0.00009+...$ $=0.74+\frac{9}{10^3}+\frac{9}{10^4}+\frac{9}{10^5}+...$ $=0.74+\frac{9}{10^3}(\frac{1}{10^0}+\frac{1}{10^1}+\frac{1}{10^2}+...)$ $=0.74+\frac{9}{10^3}\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}(\frac{1}{10})^n$ $=0.74+\frac{9}{10^3}\times\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{10}}$ $=0.74+\frac{9}{10^3}\times\frac{10}{9}$ $=0.74+\frac{1}{100}$ $=0.74+0.01=0.75$
