Answer:

A. 0.1333333

B.
$0.1\overline{3}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the decimal equivalent to the fraction
(2)/(15) .

Upon dividing 2 by 15 we will get,

(2)/(15)=0.13333333333333

Since 3 is repeating, so we can represent our answer as:

$(2)/(15)=0.1\overline{3}$

We can see that digit 3 is repeating itself infinitely, therefore, the number of digits that should be over-lined is one that is 3.
