Question

The decimal equivalent of the fraction 2/15 is____. The number of digits that should be overlined is___.

Answer 1

0.13 and the amount of digits are 1 because there is only a repeating 3.

Answer 2

A. 0.1333333

B.
`0.1\overline{3}`

Explanation:

We are asked to find the decimal equivalent to the fraction
`(2)/(15)`.

Upon dividing 2 by 15 we will get,

`(2)/(15)=0.13333333333333`

Since 3 is repeating, so we can represent our answer as:

`(2)/(15)=0.1\overline{3}`

We can see that digit 3 is repeating itself infinitely, therefore, the number of digits that should be over-lined is one that is 3.
