Q. How do you write 0.0830.08\overline{3} as a fraction?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 112\frac{1}{12}\newline(B) 14\frac{1}{4}\newline(C) 16\frac{1}{6}\newline(D) 18\frac{1}{8}
  1. Identify Repeating Decimal: Step 11: Identify the repeating decimal. 0.08{3}0.08\{3\} means 0.08333330.0833333\ldots where 33 is repeating.
  2. Shift Decimal Point: Step 22: Let x=0.0833333x = 0.0833333\ldots Multiply xx by 10001000 to shift the decimal point: 1000x=833.33331000x = 833.3333\ldots
  3. Multiply by 1010: Step 33: Also, multiply xx by 1010: 10x=0.83333310x = 0.833333\ldots
  4. Subtract Equations: Step 44: Subtract the equation in Step 33 from the equation in Step 22 to eliminate the repeating part. 1000x10x=833.3333...0.833333...1000x - 10x = 833.3333... - 0.833333... This gives 990x=832.5990x = 832.5
