Question

Write each fraction as a repeating decimal.# a) 1/6 b) 5/8 c)7/11 d) 7/15 e)48/99 f) 57/111

Answer 1

To write fractions as repeating decimals, divide the numerator by the denominator using long division and identify the repeating part.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write fractions as repeating decimals, divide the numerator by the denominator using long division. Keep dividing until the remainder is either zero or starts repeating. The repeating part of the decimal goes inside a set of parentheses.

a) 1/6 = 0.16 (the 6 repeats)

b) 5/8 = 0.625 (the 25 repeats)

c) 7/11 = 0.63 (the 63 repeats)

d) 7/15 = 0.46 (the 461 repeats)

e) 48/99 = 0.484848 (the 48 repeats)

f) 57/111 = 0.513513 (the 513 repeats)
