Can someone please answer this question? Which decimal is equivalent to 5.005050505
Here are the answer options
And which answer do you think is the correct one
If anyone gives the answer actions will be taken against your account
I think it would be #3
You are correct noodles
Oh, great! Okay, thank you!
You have to be certain before you say whether or not an answer is correct
I am...
The bar above the digits say that those digits repeat
There's only one such case where the barred digits repeat
Exactly and .05 would repeat
I only care if it was right or not because if it was I rest my case
Expanding the repeating digits of each case would probably help
You make it sound like isk what i'm doing
yeah i think
idk*
i don't know zzzzzzzzz
I'm just giving hopeful clues. No one is trying to make anyone feel bad here
ok...
Thank you so much for all your help
@noodlearms have you yet stated which answer you think is correct?
your welcome
No problem lovely (btw I call everyone love so no i'm not hitting on anyone)
any more help
Yes, 5.05 with the line above 05
Ok good
@noodlearms are you 100 percent sure?
84% sure.
Notice that in the original decimal number, for the first four digits there are two zeros between the fives
The correct answer choice would reflect that same consistency.
So, which ever one has two zeros with the line above them?
Well there's more than one as a choice that has that consistency however we can at least eliminate the incorrect choice by using same that logic
Process of elimination is the default method by which to approach problems that have answer choices
So, you don't think it's 5.05?
It's the choice that I would have eliminated
Knowing that we now have three choices from which to ponder as to which is correct
Oh alrighty, my second guess would be 5.005
Well keep in mind that the bar signifies repeating digits
So whatever digits exist under the bar those are digits repeat so take whichever answer you think is correct and then repeat the digits and see if it matches the original decimal number
Oh, that is so helpful! Thank you so much
It isn't over until you have stated what the correct answer choice is.
Correct finally
