Answer:

Yes, Erica is correct.

We divide 1 by 3 as \frac{1}{3} =0.333333...

Now, the quotient is 0.333333...

Clearly, we can see that the 3 is repeating.

Now, the decimal expansion of any rational number is non-terminating repeating if the factors of the denominator is not of the form

2^{m} \times5^{n} .

Clearly, the factor of the denominator, i.e 3 is 3\times1

So, the factors are not of the form 2^{m} \times5^{n} , the decimal expansion of \frac{1}{3} is non-terminating repeating.

Hence, the digit 3 in the quotient is repeating.
