It actually comes out to 2/3, and here's how you can work that out for yourself.
Whenever you have a repeating decimal, like 0.6666.... or 0.142857142857142857..., there's a method you can use to figure out what it's representation as a fraction is: just put the repeating portion in the numerator, and in the denominator write a number with as many 9's as the repeating number has digits.
For instance, in 0.6666... it's a "6" that's repeating, so the fraction you want is 6/9. In 0.142857142857142857... the "142857" is repeating, so the fraction you want is 142857/999999 (six 9's).
Then reduce the fraction. 6/9 reduces to 2/3. 142857/999999 reduces to 1/7. (Really, it does! :-) )
Now, if the repeating part of the decimal doesn't start right after the decimal place, but instead starts later, like in 0.581111... you can still do it, but it takes an extra step. If you're interested, let me know.
Hope that helps!

it's 2/3
cuz 1/3 is .33333... and 1/6 is .166666....
just divide on a calulator to find out.
