What is 2 8/9 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 2 8/9 as a decimal is
2.8
≈ 2.89 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 8 — it repeats forever
2 8/9: whole part, then 8 ÷ 9
Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 9 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 80 | 8 × 9 + 8 | 8 |
Remainder 8 is back after the 1st division → the digit 8 repeats forever: 0.8.
2 + 0.8 = 2.8
