Question

What is 7/6 as a decimal and what is the repeating number is the division?

Answer 1

Answer: 1.166666... the 6s go on forever

When rounded to say four decimal places, then we'd get 1.1667

We can write that as
`1.166666\ldots = 1.1\overline{6}`

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The quick way to get the answer is to type 7/6 into your calculator, or 7÷6, and you should get 1.1667 approximately. The reality is that the "6"s go on forever. But at some point, we have to round.

When writing
`1.166666\ldots = 1.1\overline{6}` the horizontal bar tells us which digit goes on forever.
