Answer:
A. 0.2222
B. Repeat indefinitely
Step-by-step explanation:
A. We have that Scott has 9 pieces in total and he eats 2 of them. That means he eats 2 <em>out of </em>the 9, so we have 2 ÷ 9. (see attachment)
The decimal form is: 0.2222.
B. Clearly, we can see that throughout the long division, we keep getting 20 - 18 = 2, which makes another 20 and so on. So, this will repeat indefinitely.
