Answer

Fraction 3 1/12 as a decimal is

3.083

≈ 3.08 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever

3 1/12: whole part, then 1 ÷ 12

Whole part 3 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder	×10	= digit × 12 + new remainder	digit
1	10	0 × 12 + 10	0
10	100	8 × 12 + 4	8
4	40	3 × 12 + 4	3

Remainder 4 repeats from the 3rd digit on → 0.083.

3 + 0.083 = 3.083
