Divide 22 by 3 to get 7

Multiply the quotient digit 7 by the divisor

and sbtract 21 from 22=1

= 27 remainder 1

Answer 2

A.
`(82)/(3)`

Explanation:

Step 1: We know .3333... is
`(1)/(3)`, we rewrite the equation as
`(1)/(3)`

`27(1)/(3)\\ (1+(27)(3))/(3)\\(1+81)/(3)\\(82)/(3)\\`

Therefore the answer would be A.
`(82)/(3)`
