What is 3 7/3 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 3 7/3 as a decimal is
5.3
≈ 5.33 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
3 7/3: whole part, then 7 ÷ 3
7 = 2 × 3 + 1: whole part 3 + 2 = 5, then divide the remainder 1
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 3 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 3 × 3 + 1 | 3 |
Remainder 1 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.
5 + 0.3 = 5.3
