What Is 0.13333 (3 Repeating) As A Fraction? Can You Also Put An Explanation Thanks :D
Ordinarily, an over-bar would be used to identify the repeating digits. On Blurtit, an under-bar is easier to create. 0.133 = 0.1*1.33 = 0.1*(1 1/3) (recognize that 0.33 = 1/3) = (1/10)*(4/3) = 4/30
When the repeating digits start at the decimal point, the equivalent fraction can be found by putting the repeating digits over an equal number of nines. 0.142857142857 = 142857/999999 = 1/7 (there are 6 repeating digits, so we use 6 nines in the denominator) In your problem above, we rearranged the number so as to put the repeating part at the decimal point.
