Answer:

I assume it's B because it's the closest thing to a recapeating fraction.

Explanation:

A.

3/8 ,to get the decimal divide the numerator by the denominator.

Ans = 0.375

B.

Same concept as A.

11 divide by 25

Ans = 0.44

C.

Ans = 0.4

D.

Ans = 0.714285714

Answer:

D

Explanation:

  • 3/8 = 0.375 so that is not the answer we would eliminate that answer
  • 11/25 = 0.44 so we would eliminate that answer too
  • C and D are left
  • 2/5 = 0.4 which we would eliminate
  • so that means D would be our answer because 5/7 = 0.714285714
  • which is a repeated decimal

  • Hope this helps
  • Hope this is right
  • Ask me more repeated decimal questions
  • And have a nice day
