5.1 with bar over 1
5.3 with bar over 3
6.1 with bar over 1

Respuesta :

5.3 with a bar over 3

Answer:

5.3 with bar over 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To express 32 over 6 in decimal form, we simply divide 32 by 6 which gives us a result of [tex]5\frac{2}{6}[/tex] with quotient 5 and remainder 2.

[tex]5\frac{2}{6}[/tex] can further be simplified to [tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] by dividing 2/6 to give 1/3.

When changed to decimal, we get a value of 5.33 where the value after the decimal on the right side is recurring.

Therefore, the correct answer option is 5.3 with bar over 3, where bar represents a repeating value.
