Use an overbar symbol to rewrite the decimal   5.438438438 … 5.438438438 \ldots 5.438438438 …   using the smallest number of digits possible.A)    5. 438 ‾ 5 . \overline { 438 } 5. 438 B)    5 ˉ . 4384 \bar{5}.4384 5 ˉ .4384 C)    5.438 ‾ \overline{5.438} 5.438 D)    5. 4384 ‾ 5 . \overline { 4384 } 5. 4384 E)    5 ‾ ⋅ 438 \overline { 5 } \cdot 438 5 ⋅ 438

Fatih cingi · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :   The correct notation for a repeating decimal is to place an overbar over the repeating digits. In this case, 438 repeats, so   5. 438 ‾ 5 . \overline { 438 } 5. 438   is the correct representation.

Use an overbar symbol to rewrite the decimal $\ldots$ using the smallest number of digits possible.

A) $\overline { 438 }$
B) $5ˉ.4384\bar{5}.4384$
C) $5.438‾\overline{5.438}$
D) $\overline { 4384 }$
E) $5‾⋅438\overline { 5 } \cdot 438$
