When writing a repeating decimal as fraction why does the fraction always have only 9s as the denominator?

There can be no answer to the question because it is based on a false assumption.0.3333... repeating = 1/3 : I don't see any 9s in the denominator!or 0.0111... repeating = 11/990 : I would not consider the last digit in the denominator to be 9.Having said that, the significance of 9 is that we count in blocks of one more: 10s.

A repeating decimal is an irrational number?

Actually, a repeating decimal is not necessarily an irrational number. A repeating decimal is a decimal number that has a repeating pattern of digits after the decimal point. While some repeating decimals can be irrational, such as 0.1010010001..., others can be rational, like 0.3333... which is equal to 1/3. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and they have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal representations.

What does four ninths mean in a terminating or repeating decimal?

It does not mean anything except that it is called a 'Vulgar (or common) Fraction'. It can be mathematically converted into a Decimal Fraction by dividing the numerator , by the denominator. EG. 4 divided by 9 = 0.44444 repeating. It simply means that it it is an Indeterminate quantity and no matter how many times you keep dividing it, there will always be a remainder. It is quite OK to say that 4/9 = 0.4 repeating. You don't have to use more than 1 figure 4 after the decimal point because they will all repeat the same as the first number after the point.
