Question

Write the decimal expansion for 5/6 Choose the correct decimal notation. A. 0.83 B. 0.8 C. 0.6 D. 0.83​

Answer 1

The answer is A. I don't know how to explain.

Answer 2

Answer: Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use a calculator or long division, you should find that

5/6 = 0.8333333...

where the '3's go on forever. We shorten this down to
`0.8\overline{3}`, the horizontal bar tells us which item goes on forever (just the 3 only).
