What is 1 8/12 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 1 8/12 as a decimal is
1.6
≈ 1.67 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: 8/12 = 2/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
1 8/12: whole part, then 8 ÷ 12
Whole part 1 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 12 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 80 | 6 × 12 + 8 | 6 |
Remainder 8 is back after the 1st division → the digit 6 repeats forever: 0.6.
1 + 0.6 = 1.6
