What is 5 3/18 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 3/18 as a decimal is
5.16
≈ 5.17 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: 3/18 = 1/6 · denominator 6 = 2 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
5 3/18: whole part, then 3 ÷ 18
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 18 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 30 | 1 × 18 + 12 | 1 |
| 12 | 120 | 6 × 18 + 12 | 6 |
Remainder 12 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.16.
5 + 0.16 = 5.16
