Given:

\(\overline{0.68} + \overline{0.73} = ?\)

Formula Used:

Sum of recurring decimals = Decimal 1 + Decimal 2.

Calculation:

Convert recurring decimals into fractions:

\(\overline{0.68}\) = 68/99

\(\overline{0.73}\) = 73/99

Add the fractions:

Total = (68/99) + (73/99)

⇒ Total = (68 + 73) / 99

⇒ Total = 141 / 99

Convert back to a recurring decimal:

141 ÷ 99 = \(\overline{1.41}\)

\(\overline{0.68}\) + \(\overline{0.73}\) = \(\overline{1.41}\)

The correct option is Option 1.
