Question

What is the value of 0.4 ̅ + 0.2 ̅ ?

A.

7/8

B.

6/7

C.

2/3

D.

8/9

Correct option is C

Given:
Value to calculate: 0.4̅ + 0.2̅
Here, 0.4̅ means 0.4444... (repeating), and 0.2̅ means 0.2222... (repeating)
Solution:
Let x = 0.4̅ = 0.4444.......(1)

Then,10x = 4.444...(2)
 Subtracting these equations, get

9x=4=>x=49.9x = 4 \Rightarrow x = \frac{4}{9} .​​
Similarly,0.2̅ = 29\frac{2}{9}​ .
0.4̅ + 0.2̅ = 49+29\frac{4}{9} + \frac{2}{9}= 4+29=69\frac{4 + 2}{9} = \frac{6}{9} ​​
69=23 \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} ​​
Thus, the value of 0.4̅ + 0.2̅ is 23.\frac{2}{3} .​​
