What is 3 5/12 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 3 5/12 as a decimal is

3.416

≈ 3.42 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever

3 5/12: whole part, then 5 ÷ 12

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

remainder	×10	= digit × 12 + new remainder	digit
5	50	4 × 12 + 2	4
2	20	1 × 12 + 8	1
8	80	6 × 12 + 8	6

Remainder 8 repeats from the 3rd digit on → 0.416.

3 + 0.416 = 3.416
