Which statement about 0.374̅9, 0.375, and 3/8 is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.374̅9 = 0.375 = 3/8

The governing concept is the equivalence of terminating and recurring decimal representations. The bar over 9 means that 9 continues forever, so the number is 0.3749999… . This recurring decimal has exactly the same real-number value as 0.375; the apparent difference disappears in the limiting value. Also, converting the fraction gives 3/8 = 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. Hence all three expressions represent the same number, and option C is correct. Option A is wrong because it treats the recurring decimal as genuinely smaller. Options B and D also impose false inequalities. A recurring sequence of 9s can represent the next terminating decimal exactly.
