| Since all three decimal digits are the same, the sum of the digits is 3 times one digit. |
| Let each digit be the same value. The sum of 3 identical digits is 3 x that digit. | ||
| Sum of digits | = | 3 x digit = 24 |
| Each digit | = | 24 / 3 = 8 |
| The number is less than 1, so it has 0 in the ones place. | ||
| The decimal | = | 0.888 |
