Question

Answer 1

The decimal equivalent of fraction 2/15 is,

`(2)/(15)=0.13333333`

The number 3 is repeating in the decimal. So, we should overline 3.

Then, the decimal decimal equivalent of fraction 2/15 becomes,

`0.1\bar{\text{3}}`

Hence, the number of digits to be overlined is one.

The decimal equivalent of 3/10 is,

`(3)/(10)=0.3`
