What is 3 4/9 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 3 4/9 as a decimal is

3.4

≈ 3.44 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 4 — it repeats forever

3 4/9: whole part, then 4 ÷ 9

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

remainder	×10	= digit × 9 + new remainder	digit
4	40	4 × 9 + 4	4

Remainder 4 is back after the 1st division → the digit 4 repeats forever: 0.4.

3 + 0.4 = 3.4
