Question

How do you write 3/11 as a decimal?

Answer 1

`3/11 = (3*9)/(11*9) = 27/99 = 0.27272727... = 0.dot(2)dot(7)`

Explanation:

If you can find a multiplier for the numerator and denominator that makes the denominator `1` short of a power of `10`, then the numerator will give you the pattern repeated in the decimal.

For example `3/7 = (3*142857)/(7*142857) = 428571/999999 = 0.dot(4)2857dot(1)`

Answer 2

`3/11=0.bar27`
