What is 5 1/6 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 1/6 as a decimal is
5.16
≈ 5.17 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 6 = 2 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
5 1/6: whole part, then 1 ÷ 6
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 6 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 1 × 6 + 4 | 1 |
| 4 | 40 | 6 × 6 + 4 | 6 |
Remainder 4 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.16.
5 + 0.16 = 5.16
