    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} .​​
