Question

Express $\frac{2}{15}$ in its decimal form.

• A. $0.13$
• B. $0.134$
• C. $0.1\overline{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $0.1\overline{3}$

Let's divide $2$ by $15$ using long division.

$\frac{2}{15}=\mathrm{0.1333...}$
It is a non-terminating and repeating decimal number.
Here, the digit $3$ in hundredths place gets repeated.

$\therefore \mathrm{0.1333...}$ can be represented as $0.1\overline{3}.$
