is this right ?

TETSXPREME:

ik its either that or the D

I agree the answer is B, but you have to explain your answer... i'll do that for you :) The first step to converting a repeating decimal to a fraction is eliminating the infinitely repeating digit (0.6666). To do this, we multiply by 10 (to shift one of the digits to the left). 0.6666 becomes 6.6666 Next, we subtract the original number from the number we just got... 6.6666 - 0.6666 = 6 As an equation, it is written as: \[(10~ \times~(fraction)~)~-~(fraction)=6\] OR... \[9\times(fraction)=6\] We can replace "fraction" with x and solve... \[9\times~x~=6\] Divide both sides by 9... \[\frac{ 9\times~x~ }{ 9 }=\frac{ 6 }{ 9 }\] The 9 cancels out which leaves us with... \[x=\frac{ 6 }{ 9 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\] 0.6 repeating is 2/3 as a fraction.
