Which statement about 0.6, 0.59̅, and 3/5 is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.6 = 0.59̅ = 3/5

The governing concept is equivalence between terminating and recurring decimal representations. The notation 0.59̅ means that only the 9 repeats: 0.59999… . A recurring string of 9s makes this number equal to the next terminating decimal, so 0.59999… = 0.60000… = 0.6. Also, 3/5 can be converted to a decimal by dividing 3 by 5, giving 0.6 exactly. Hence all three expressions represent the same real number, and option C is correct. Option A incorrectly treats the recurring 9s as making the value smaller; options B and D incorrectly introduce a strict inequality. Equal decimal representations can look different while denoting the same number.
