It is most correct to place the bar over the first set of repeating numbers. Some people teach a style that is also correct, showing one set of the repeated digits and then a second set with a bar over all the repeated digits.
This is not possible to show in this text-only format.
1/3 = 0.3 with a bar over the 3,
or 1/3 = 0.33 with a bar over the last 3.
1/7 = 0.142857 with a bar over all six digits, or
1/7 = 0.142857142857 with a bar over the last 6 digits.
Either format means the exact same thing. Your teacher may strongly prefer one or the other, or tell you to show your answer to at least 3 digits, or similar.

Answer = .3 with a bar above the 3 or .3 (3 repeating) or even ~.333 (if precision isn't very important). Note: Whenever you have a number in % or "percent" that you want to convert to a decimal number, simply divide the % number by 100 (for example: 33.3 % / 100 = .333). IF the % number is known to be repeating (for example 1/3=.3 repeating=33.3% (repeating)), then you can express the percent number in decimal as .3 with a bar above the 3 or as .3 (repeating) or even ~.333 (where "~" means "approximately). All are valid expressions of 33.3 % (repeating).
