2 Which decimal is equivalent to \( \frac{8}{9} \) ? (A) \( 0 . \overline{8} \) (B) 0.88 (C) \( 0.8 \overline{9} \) (D) 0.9

The fraction \( \frac{8}{9} \) can be converted into a decimal by performing long division or recognizing its repeating nature. When you divide 8 by 9, you get 0.888..., which is denoted as \( 0.\overline{8} \). So, you can see that it continuously repeats the digit 8, making option (A) \( 0 . \overline{8} \) the correct answer! If you were to take a wild guess and choose between options, keep in mind that decimals like 0.88 and \( 0.9 \) aren't equal to \( \frac{8}{9} \). Instead, practice converting common fractions into decimals, as this will help you easily identify equivalent values in the future.
