In which fraction will the repeating part start immediately after the decimal point?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{1}{7})
Step 1: The denominator of (\frac{1}{7}) has no factor (2) or (5), so the repeating part starts immediately. Step 2: (14), (28), and (35) also contain (2) or (5), so a non-repeating part comes first. Step 3: Factors (2) or (5) can delay the start of the recurring part.
