What is the 25th digit to the right of the decimal point in the decimal form of 6/11?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6
E) 7
I'm moving this to the Problem Solving forum.
If we use LONG DIVISION and divide 6 by 11, we see a pattern emerge.
We get: 6/11 = 0.5454....
So, the 1st digit to the right of the decimal point is 5
The 2nd digit to the right of the decimal point is 4
The 3rd digit to the right of the decimal point is 5
The 4th digit to the right of the decimal point is 4
and so on...
Every ODD digit (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc) is 5
Every EVEN digit (2nd, 4th, 6th etc) is 4
So, the 25th digit will be
5
Answer:
C
