Fractions to Repeating Decimals

To convert a fraction to a repeating decimal, you can divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number).

Here's how:

Divide the numerator by the denominator. Write down the decimal answer. If the decimal goes on forever, put a bar over the repeating part of the decimal. For example, let's convert the fraction 1/3 to a repeating decimal.

Divide the numerator by the denominator: 1 ÷ 3 = 0.3333... Write down the decimal answer: 0.3333... Put a bar over the repeating part of the decimal: 0.333... = 0.3 Now we have the repeating decimal 0.3, which represents the fraction 1/3.
