Answer

1.13

Repeating decimal: denominator 15 = 3 × 5 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever

Whole part 1 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder×10= digit × 15 + new remainderdigit
2201 × 15 + 51

Remainder 5 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.13.

1 + 0.13 = 1.13
