Question

Evaluate the quotient and express the answer as a repeating decimal--showing the repeating pattern twice: 82.8 ÷ 99 = _____ ?

Answer 1

`0.83636`

Explanation:

By evaluate the quotient, the problem simply means to complete the division.

`82.8/99=0.836363636`

Now, we need to identify the repeating decimal.

`0.8color(red)36363636`

Therefore, the pattern `36` repeats `4` times in this approximated answer. However, it would continue on infinitely. But the problem asks for it to be repeated twice.

`0.8color(red)3636`
