What is 3 2/18 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 3 2/18 as a decimal is
3.1

≈ 3.11 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: 2/18 = 1/9 · denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 1 — it repeats forever

3 2/18: whole part, then 2 ÷ 18

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

remainder×10= digit × 18 + new remainderdigit
2201 × 18 + 21

Remainder 2 is back after the 1st division → the digit 1 repeats forever: 0.1.

3 + 0.1 = 3.1
