Correct option is C
Solution:
Convert 2.666... into a fraction.
Let x = 2.666...
Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the repeating part:
10x = 26.666...
Now subtract the original equation:
10x - x = 26.666... - 2.666...
9x = 24
x = 24/9 = 8/3
So, 2.666... = 8/3.
Convert 2.77... into a fraction.
Let y = 2.77...
Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the repeating part:
10y = 27.77...
Now subtract the original equation:
10y - y = 27.77... - 2.77...
9y = 25
y = 25/9
So, 2.77... = 25/9.
Add the two fractions 8/3 and 25/9.
Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 3 and 9, which is 9:
8/3 = 24/9
Now add the fractions:
24/9 + 25/9 = (24 + 25)/9 = 49/9
The sum of 2.666... + 2.77... in fraction form is:
49/9.
