What is 1 2/6 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 1 2/6 as a decimal is
1.3
≈ 1.33 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: 2/6 = 1/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
1 2/6: whole part, then 2 ÷ 6
Whole part 1 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 6 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 3 × 6 + 2 | 3 |
Remainder 2 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.
1 + 0.3 = 1.3
