Answer:

3/9

Explanation:

A repeating decimal is a decimal in which the last number is the same forever. (Ex. .83333333333333333)

So...

2/5 = .4 Not Repeating

-7 = -7 Just a regular integer so nothing can actually repeat

3/9 = .33333 Yes. the 3 is repeating.

11/12 = 0.916666667 Repeated BUT it ends in 7, it doesn't keep continuing.

Hope this helped :)
