Question

Which value is equivalent to

3/11?
OA A. 0.27
O
B. 0.27
OC
C. 3.6
OD. 3.

Answer 1

0.27 repeating.

Explanation:

So to solve this we just have to use division.

1 clearly doesnt go into 3 at least one time, so we can add a decimal point and add a 0 to make it 30.

11 goes into 30 2 times, so we have:

0.2

and 30-22=8

So we can add another 0 and make it 80.

Then 11 goes into 80 7 times. So we have:

0.27

and 80-77=3

So again, add the 0, we have 30.

11 goes into 30 2 times, so:

0.272

and 30-22=8

Add another 0 we get 80.

11 goes into 80 7 times.

So finally, we have:

0.2727.

This is a repeating decimal.

This can be shown as:

0.27

So this is your answer!

I was a bit confused with which one it was on your answer key, but knowing that it is 0.27 I am guessing you can chose!

Hope this helps!
