Answer 1

Answer:

divide 1 by 3

Explanation:

The easiest way to check the answer after converting a repeating decimal to a fraction is to perform the division indicated by the fraction. 1/3 means 1 ÷ 3. When you perform that division, you quickly see the problem repeats, meaning the quotient digit 3 repeats, verifying that you have the correct result.
