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. **1/10** = 0.1 (This is a terminating decimal, not repeating).
2. **1/4** = 0.25 (This is a terminating decimal, not repeating).
3. **3/15** = 0.2 (This is a terminating decimal, not repeating).
4. **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...).

Here are five related questions you may find useful:
1. What is the difference between terminating and repeating decimals?
2. How can you identify if a fraction has a repeating decimal?
3. How do you convert a repeating decimal to a fraction?
4. Why does 1/9 repeat as 0.111...?
5. How can you calculate a repeating decimal to a fraction algebraically?

Tip: To recognize a repeating decimal, try dividing the numerator by the denominator. If the remainder starts repeating, the decimal will repeat too!

Which fraction can be expressed as a repeating decimal?
A) 1/10
