Question

Which of the following numbers can be expressed as repeating decimals? 3 over 7, 2 over 5, 3 over 4, 2 over 9

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's think about the denominators we have. A seventh goes on forever in no specified order. A fifth an a fourth have set decimal values, 0.2 and 0.25, so they are not repeating decimals. A ninth is 0.111111..., it repeats like this forever in a specified order. Therefore, 2/9, or 0.222222...., would be a repeating decimal.

Therefore, our answer is $\boxed {\frac{2}{9}}$.

I hope this helps!
