5.3

Repeating decimal: 4/12 = 1/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
5 4/12: whole part, then 4 ÷ 12
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 12 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 40 | 3 × 12 + 4 | 3 |
Remainder 4 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.
5 + 0.3 = 5.3
