What is 7 4/9 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 7 4/9 as a decimal is
7.4
≈ 7.44 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 9 = 3 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 4 — it repeats forever
7 4/9: whole part, then 4 ÷ 9
Whole part 7 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 9 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 40 | 4 × 9 + 4 | 4 |
Remainder 4 is back after the 1st division → the digit 4 repeats forever: 0.4.
7 + 0.4 = 7.4
