Using an infinite geometric series, what is the binary value 0.1010101…0.1010101\dots equal to in base 10? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.

(Hint: Non-integers in binary can be confusing. Just remember that each place represents a power of 22. For example, 0.10.1 in binary is 12\frac{1}{2} in base 10, 0.010.01 in binary is 14\frac{1}{4} in base 10, 0.0010.001 in binary is 18\frac{1}{8} in base 10, and so on.)
