Convert 3/11 to a decimal equivalent using long division. (Ex: 80-30 is what I need but I'm not sure.)

.27 repeating.... you have to put three on the inside and 11 outside, so 11 goes into 3 zero times so put a zero at the top. Write a zero underneath and subtract 3-0 (obviously 3) and put a decimal point after the first three under the sign and the 0 above it. Add a zero after the threes decimal, and carry it down to the bottom most 3 to have 30. 11 goes into 30 two times so write a 2 at the top. Subtract the 30-22 at the bottom and get 8. Add another 0 after the 3 ( so now 3.00) and carry it to the 8 (80). 11 goes in 7 times, 77. So 7 on top and 80-77= 3 below. Add another zero to repeat process if necessary, but otherwise it repeats, just so you know ;) hope this helps
