Convert 0.454545... to a fraction

This is a great fraction for finding the passing of the 2 hands of a clock. If you take the total number of times they pass in 12 hours which is 11, and the total minutes in 12 hours which is 720, you can calculate that the first time the hands pass is at 1:05 and 5/11! Also, if you figure out this time by repeated addition, you realise that 5/12 + 5/144 + 5/1728 and so on forever equals 5/11 which I thought was pretty cool!
