What is 5 1/9 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 1/9 as a decimal is
5.1
≈ 5.11 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 1 — it repeats forever
5 1/9: whole part, then 1 ÷ 9
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 9 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 1 × 9 + 1 | 1 |
Remainder 1 is back after the 1st division → the digit 1 repeats forever: 0.1.
5 + 0.1 = 5.1
