How do you show the group of digits that repeat in a repeating decimal?
by underlining them
by printing them in italics
by putting a bar over them
by putting them in parentheses
The correct answer is by putting a bar over them.

infinitely long
up to seven digits long
The correct answer is up to six digits long.
Convert 0.bar(27)
to a rational number in simplest form.(1 point)
3/11
27/99
1/27
27/100
To convert the repeating decimal 0.bar(27) to a rational number in simplest form:
Let x = 0.bar(27)
Multiply x by 100 to shift the decimal point two places to the right:
100x = 27.bar(27)
Subtract the original equation from the above equation to eliminate the repeating part:
100x - x = 27.bar(27) - 0.bar(27)
99x = 27
x = 27/99
Therefore, the rational number in simplest form equivalent to 0.bar(27) is 27/99.
To convert 0.bar(264)to a rational number, you would set x equal to 0.bar(264) and then multiply both sides of the equation by what number?
999
10
1,000
100
To convert 0.bar(264) to a rational number, you would set x equal to 0.bar(264) and then multiply both sides of the equation by 1000.
Setting x = 0.bar(264), we can multiply both sides by 1000 as follows:
1000x = 264.bar(264)
Next, subtract x from both sides to eliminate the repeating part:
1000x - x = 264.bar(264) - 0.bar(264)
Simplifying the equation yields:
999x = 264
Dividing both sides by 999 gives:
x = 264/999
Therefore, the rational number equivalent to 0.bar(264) is 264/999.
