Answer 1

The bar over the numbers indicates the patern that is repeating, so to know where to put it we need to identify what is repeating in 1.436363636...

As we can see, "1" and "4" are not repeating, but, starting from "3", the pattern always repeats.

So, thsi number is the same as saying 1.4 followed by repating 36.

So, the correct representation is:

`1.4\bar{3}\bar{6}`

Which corresponds to alternative C
