Answer 1

To figure out what \[\frac{ 3 }{ 13 }\]is as a decimal, all you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator, so \[3\div13\]

Answer 2

What do you get when you finish that math?

Answer 3

I did that and i think it is either D or A or C

Answer 4

i got 0.2307692308

Answer 5

Yep, that's what I got. The numbers are going on and on in no specific order, so which one would that be? Remember that the line above the number in a decimal means that those numbers repeat in order.

Answer 6

i am stuck between D ,A &C

Answer 7

C and D have the lines over the numbers. That means whatever numbers have that line above it, will keep being repeated in the decimal.

Answer 8

D doesn't have a line

Answer 9

It doesn't? I can't really see it because the answers are cut off a little bit.

Answer 10

Does A have a line? I can't see if that one does either.

Answer 11

A. has a line over 0769

B. has a line over 69

C. has a line over 230769

Answer 12

Ok, so which one do you think your answer should be? 3/13's decimal goes on and on in no particular order.

Answer 13

D?
