Answer 2

Convert 15.666 to a fraction.

 

Should this be a repeating decimal, 15.666...?

 

I'll do both:

 

15.666 * 1000/1000 = 15666/1000 = 7833/500.

 

Let n = 15.666..., then

10 n = 156.666...

  - n = - 15.666...

 9 n = 141

 

n = 141/9 = 47/3

 

Now, can you prove 1 = 0.999...?

 

 

Answer 3

47

Answer 4

if the actual number is 15.6666666 repeating.... then 15 and 2/3 since 2/3 =.6666666666 repeating

f the number is only.666, then it is less than 2/3   and cannot be easily quantified
