Solution

To solve 10.9\frac{1}{0.9}, we can convert it to a fraction:

10.9=1910=1×109=109\frac{1}{0.9} = \frac{1}{\frac{9}{10}} = \frac{1 \times 10}{9} = \frac{10}{9}

Now, we can convert 109\frac{10}{9} to a decimal:

109=1.1111\frac{10}{9} = 1.1111\ldots

This is a repeating decimal with the digit 1 repeating. So, the answer is:

1.11.\overline{1}

The correct choice is: C. The answer is a repeating decimal, 1.11.\overline{1}.
