`0.5+0.55+0.555+............nterms`
=`5{0.1+0.11+0.111+........} `
=`5/9​(9/10​+99/100​+999/1000​+..........)`
=`5/9​(1−1/10​+1−1/100​+1−1/1000​+....... n terms) `
=`5/9((1+1+1+....n)+(1/10+1/100 +1/100+....nterms))`
=`5/9​(n−(1/10​+1/100​+1/1000​+......... n terms)) `
Now, `1/10,1/100​,1/1000​ ,.... `
