Step one: divide 4/15
Step two: see which digits in the quotient repeats. (It's 6.)

Answer:

6 will keep repeating in the question.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Tyrel is dividing 4 by 15.

We have to find the digit that repeats itself in the quotient.

Repeating or non terminating decimals:

  • Non terminating decimals are those which keep on continuing after decimal point . They do not end.

If we divide, we get:


\displaystyle(4)/(15)=0.26666666666..

Thus, we see that 6 is repeated in the quotient.
