Answer: 4/9
==============================================
Work Shown:
[tex]x = 0.\overline{4}\\\\x = 0.4444\ldots\\\\10x = 4.4444\ldots\\\\10x-x = 4.4444\ldots-0.4444\ldots\\\\9x = 4\\\\x = \frac{4}{9}\\\\\frac{4}{9} = 0.\overline{4}= 0.4444\ldots\\\\[/tex]
The idea is that when we subtract 10x and x, the infinite decimal pattern (the 4s that go on forever) will cancel. That leads to 9x = 4 which solves to x = 4/9
