Question
The simplest for of $1.\overline{6}$ is:
✓
Answer
- $\frac{5}{3}$
Solution:
Let $\text{x}=1.\overline{6}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=1.666 \ ...(\text{i})$
$\therefore10\text{x}=16.666 \ ...(\text{ii})$
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
$9\text{x}=15$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{15}{9}=\frac{5}{3}$
Hence, the correct option is (c).
