(A)

119/500

(B)

238/25

(C)

119/25

(D)

119/50

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

  1. Write the decimal as a fraction. There are three digits after the decimal point, so use 1000 in the denominator.

    (0.238 = dfrac{238}{1000})

  2. Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by their common factor.

    (238 = 2 imes 119) and (1000 = 2 imes 500)

    So divide both by (2).

    (dfrac{238}{1000} = dfrac{238 div 2}{1000 div 2})

    (= dfrac{119}{500})

  3. Final answer: (oxed{dfrac{119}{500}}) → Option A.
