What is 5 7/9 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 7/9 as a decimal is
5.7
≈ 5.78 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 7 — it repeats forever
5 7/9: whole part, then 7 ÷ 9
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 9 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 70 | 7 × 9 + 7 | 7 |
Remainder 7 is back after the 1st division → the digit 7 repeats forever: 0.7.
5 + 0.7 = 5.7
