Converting Fractions into Repeating Decimals

Change each fraction into a repeating decimal. Then use a bar notation to show the repeating part.

Rule: What ever you do to the bottom, you have to do to the top.


















1. I divided the denominator (6) by itself to turn it into a 1.
2. Then I divided the numerator (5) with the same number I used to divide my denominator.

-5 divided by 6 is 0.83333...
- So I used a bar notation to show the repeating number(s).
