so we&#x27;re asked to write. The Fraction one over six is a repeating decimal, so you can use your calculator on this and you get 0.16 and the six continues. And in order to show that the six continues, we just put a bar over that sex. If, for example, the one and the six repeated, then the bar would go across both of those. But in this case, it&#x27;s only the six that repeats. And so we just put the bar over the six.

you&#x27;re asked to write seven over eight as a repeating decimal, but you&#x27;ll find when you use your calculator that it&#x27;s just a decimal and it ends at 0.875 is the answer for best one.

Martha Richards · Answer

All right, So this one were asked to write this fraction as a repeating decimal. So for your calculator, it&#x27;s actually a little difficult to do this one, because the repeat is so long that most of it goes off of the screen or isn&#x27;t provided. So what? The answer here using your calculator on dhe, then you concede here. So this five and then we start again. We get this 714 and that&#x27;s all that&#x27;s provided on my calculator. But you can use another calculator that will, um, take it out just to touch further. So because we see that 714 next, we know that that&#x27;s when it starts to repeat. So what we do is now we know that it starts at the 714 and repeats here. And so this line goes across all of these numbers because these numbers repeat again next, so that this starts at 714 and continues on from there

to express a fraction as a decimal. We divide the numerator by our denominator. Two does not go into negative one. So we add a zero two goes into negative 10 negative five times multiply negative five times two is negative. 10. Subtract a negative minus a negative is addition. We get a zero remainder negative 1/2 as a decimal is negative 0.5

So let&#x27;s leave the negative six here and let&#x27;s divide five by eight to find the decimal by eight. Does not going to find so at a 80.0 it goes into 56 times as 48. Let&#x27;s attract. We get to drop a zero. It goes into 20 twice a 16 get four remainder dropped another zero and eight goes in the 45 times exactly with no remainder. Bring the vessel straight up and we have 0.625 Sore answers Negative. Six point six 25

to express a fraction as a decimal. We divide the numerator by the denominator. So here six does not go into negative five. But it does go into negative 50 and that goes in eight times. We&#x27;ll make it negative. Negative. Eight times six is negative. 48. We subtract 50 minus a negative. 48 is, too. We add a zero and bring it down. Six into 20 goes in three times. Three times six is 18. We subtract and we get to at a zero. Bring it down. Six goes into 23 times, and as you can see, this will continue to repeat indefinitely. So we have a repeating decimal. So negative 5/6 as a decimal. His negative 0.83 with the three repeating.
