What is 5 3/9 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 3/9 as a decimal is
5.3
≈ 5.33 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: 3/9 = 1/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
5 3/9: whole part, then 3 ÷ 9
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 9 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 30 | 3 × 9 + 3 | 3 |
Remainder 3 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.
5 + 0.3 = 5.3
