What 1/11 as a decimal

Okay so here is what you would do:

If you want take a calculator and calculate the following (to check my work):

Do 1 divided by 11 (1 / 11).

Pretty much you would get a crazy number similar to this:

0.09090909090909

That's a repeating decimal so just go ahead and turn it into this:
_
1.09

(Pretend the _ is over the number 9)
