Fraction 2 3/9 as a decimal is
2.3

≈ 2.33 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: 3/9 = 1/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever

2 3/9: whole part, then 3 ÷ 9

Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

3303 × 9 + 33

Remainder 3 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.

2 + 0.3 = 2.3
