Question

Write the following in decimal form and say what kind of decimal expansion has:

`2/11`

Sum

Solution

Dividing 2 by 11, we get

`11)overline2.0000(0.1818......`
      -11    
       90
      -88    
       20
      -11    
       90
      -88    
        2

Here, the repeating block of digits is 18.

∴ `2/11` = 0.1818...

= `0.overline18`

Thus, the decimal expansion of `2/11` is non-terminating repeating.
