Conversion of the given decimal to fraction gives: 3¹/₉

How to interpret a decimal with a bar above it?

A horizontal line written over a repeating number after a decimal point is called a bar. That line denotes bar notation.

A bar over a number means that the number is being repeated indefinitely after a decimal point. That is why there is a bar over that number.

Thus, the given number can be expanded using the concept above to get:

3.11111111......

As a fraction, we have:

3¹/₉
