What is 3 8/6 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 3 8/6 as a decimal is
4.3
≈ 4.33 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: 2/6 = 1/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
3 8/6: whole part, then 8 ÷ 6
8 = 1 × 6 + 2: whole part 3 + 1 = 4, then divide the remainder 2
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 6 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 3 × 6 + 2 | 3 |
Remainder 2 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.
4 + 0.3 = 4.3
