The ratio of the moles of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ evolved to the moles of $\mathrm{O}_2$ consumed in respiration also called the respiratory quotient, is calculated for a carbohydrate $\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6\right)$ as substrate and found to be $1$. Under similar conditions, for a fatty acid $\left(\mathrm{C}_{51} \mathrm{H}_{98} \mathrm{O}_6\right)$ as substrate, the respiratory quotient is ____________ (rounded off to two decimal place).
