#1.8#

We have the following:

#9/5#

We want to make the denominator #100#, so we can multiply the top and bottom by #20#. We now have

#180/100#

Dividing by #100# is the same as looping the decimal two times to the left.

If we loop the decimal in #180# to the left twice, we get #1.8#. This is the same as #9/5#.

Hope this helps!
