OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes you are correct :)

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

wait actually I'm doubting between D and your response

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

because when I did it I got 0.2380952381 which means that the numbers may be repeating

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Answer is not A.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yeah I think D because the 238095 repeats over and pver again

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I'm so confused guys... o.O

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

what confuses you?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

the line on top of the number just represents the numbers that repeat and like I said before the numbers that do repeat are over lines in option D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh maybe the calculator is rounding? Hm. maybe wolfram alpha..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Daniellelovee Yup! You're right! It's D. then

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

i just used the google one lol and thank you :)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

@Ms-Brains Did you use a calculator to find the decimal value of the fraction?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Ohhh. That make sense! Thanks guys!! <3 you all rock!

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

As you can see, the decimal equivalent of 5/21 is not simply 0.238095, so choice A is not the answer. The calculator shows 0.238905238095. This is enough to show that it is a repeating decimal with 238095 being the repeating part. That is why D is the correct answer. The bar over 238095 shows that 238095 repeats.

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I understand, thank you!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're welcome.
