Answer: 1.3 repeating

Step-by-step explanation: In order to write 1/3 as a decimal, if you didn't know what it was by heart, you would have to use a calculator.

So you're going to have to take the numerator,

plug it into the calculator and then

hit the division symbol

and then plug in the denominator.

So we have 1 ÷ 3.

When we do that we get 0.33333333.

The calculator is telling you that this is a repeating decimal so what this should look like as an answer is 0.3 repeating.

In the image provided, I have showed you what the decimal should look like with the bar above the 3 showing that it's repeating.
