What is 6 5/9 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 6 5/9 as a decimal is
6.5
≈ 6.56 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 5 — it repeats forever
6 5/9: whole part, then 5 ÷ 9
Whole part 6 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 9 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 50 | 5 × 9 + 5 | 5 |
Remainder 5 is back after the 1st division → the digit 5 repeats forever: 0.5.
6 + 0.5 = 6.5
