Question

Find the missing value in the following expression:
83 ÷ 9 = ?

• A. 9.12
• B. $9.\overline{2}$
• C. $9.\overline{3}$
• D. 9.4

Answer 1

The correct option is B $9.\overline{2}$

Given: 83 ÷ 9

Using the long division, we have:

$$\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{9.22...}\\ 983\\ -\underset{–}{81}2\\ 20\\ -\underset{–}{18}\\ 20\\ -\underset{–}{18}\\ 2\end{array}$$

Therefore,
83 ÷ 9 = 9.22... ( <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> ∴ Non-terminating decimal)
= $9.\overline{2}$
