how funny the options are!

option-A:7 goes 7 times +more in 53.

option-B:4 goes 12 times +more in 50

option-C:6 goes 8 times + more in 51

and there remains only 1 option.

you could have done a little better with the options.

Convert 5.6666 5.6666\dots into fraction

0.6666 = 6 9 0.6666\dots = \frac{6}{9} = 2 3 \frac{2}{3}

5 2 3 = 51 9 5 \frac{2}{3} = \boxed{\frac{51}{9}}

5. 6 ˙ = 56 5 9 = 17 3 5.\dot { 6 } = \frac { 56 - 5 } { 9 } = \frac { 17 } { 3 } .

51 6 = 8. s o m e t h i n g 53 7 = 7. s o m e t h i n g 50 4 = 12. s o m e t h i n g 51 9 = 5. s o m e t h i n g \dfrac{51}{6} = 8.something\\ \dfrac{53}{7} = 7.something\\ \dfrac{50}{4} = 12.something\\ \dfrac{51}{9} = 5.something

So, the only possible option is 51 9 \color{#69047E}{\boxed{\dfrac{51}{9}}} .

let x = 5.66... x=5.66... so 10 x = 56.66.. 10x=56.66.. when you subtract them we get 9 x = 51 9x=51 so x = 51 / 9 x=51/9

this sum was a child's play but it was good of you for posting a solution.
