Question

Write the decimal expansion of 59.
0.05
0.5¯
0.6¯
0.666

Answer 1

To express the number 59 as a decimal, it is simply written as **59.0**. However, it seems you are asking about the decimal expansions for certain fractions or recurring decimals given in the options provided:

1. **0.05** is a decimal representation for the fraction \( \frac{5}{100} \) or \( \frac{1}{20} \).
2. **0.5̅** (which means 0.5555... repeating) represents the fraction \( \frac{5}{9} \).
3. **0.6̅** (which means 0.6666... repeating) represents the fraction \( \frac{2}{3} \).
4. **0.666** is a terminating decimal, approximately equal to \( \frac{2}{3} \) but not exact.

Since 59 is a whole number, the proper way to represent it in decimal form does not directly relate to any of the decimal options you've provided. If you meant to compare 59 with these decimals (like checking their values), none of the decimal representations given are equal to or represent 59.

If you please clarify the context or what you want to compare 59 with, I could provide more specific guidance!
