Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks which fraction can be expressed as a repeating decimal. Here are the options:
A) 1/10
B) 1/4
C) 3/15
D) 7/9
Let's analyze these fractions:
- 1/10 = 0.1 (This is a terminating decimal, not repeating).
- 1/4 = 0.25 (This is a terminating decimal, not repeating).
- 3/15 = 0.2 (This is a terminating decimal, not repeating).
- 7/9 = 0.777... (This is a repeating decimal, as the digit 7 repeats).
The correct answer is D) 7/9, which can be expressed as a repeating decimal (0.777...).
