(3)/(9)=(3:3)/(9:3)=(1)/(3)=0.3333...=0.\overline{3}\to B.

for the future:


(1)/(9)=0.\overline{1}\\\\(2)/(9)=0.\overline{2}\\\\(3)/(9)=0.\overline{3}\\\vdots\\\\(n)/(9)=0.\overline{n}\ for\ n\in\{1;\ 2;\ 3;\ ...;\ 9\}

What is the decimal equivalent of 3/9? - A. 0.2 - B. 0.3 - C. 0.4 - D. 0.5-example-1
