OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that: 2/3 is a periodic number

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and 5 and 7 have not divisors in common, since they are relatively prime numbers, so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmmmmmm....... So then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not that?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please try!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is it the first option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not a or c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

option a contains 2 over 3, which is a periodic number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so tell me, is 5/7 part of the answer?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, I don't think, because 5 an 7 have not divisors in common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i think its a

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, because a contains the numbe 2 over 3 which is a periodic number, namely a number whose decimals are infinite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then c?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

well done! that's right!
