What is 1 4/9 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 1 4/9 as a decimal is
1.4

≈ 1.44 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 4 — it repeats forever

1 4/9: whole part, then 4 ÷ 9

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

remainder×10= digit × 9 + new remainderdigit
4404 × 9 + 44

Remainder 4 is back after the 1st division → the digit 4 repeats forever: 0.4.

1 + 0.4 = 1.4
