What is 5 6/18 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 6/18 as a decimal is
5.3
≈ 5.33 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: 6/18 = 1/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
5 6/18: whole part, then 6 ÷ 18
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 18 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 60 | 3 × 18 + 6 | 3 |
Remainder 6 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.
5 + 0.3 = 5.3
