Solution

To convert the repeating decimal 0.70.\overline{7} to a simplified fraction, we can follow these steps:

  1. Let x=0.7x = 0.\overline{7}.
  2. Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point one place to the right: 10x=7.710x = 7.\overline{7}.
  3. Subtract the original equation from this new equation to eliminate the repeating part: 10xx=7.70.710x - x = 7.\overline{7} - 0.\overline{7} 9x=79x = 7
  4. Solve for xx: x=79x = \frac{7}{9}

Thus, 0.70.\overline{7} as a simplified fraction is 79\frac{7}{9}.
