1.6 repeating into a fraction = 5/3

To convert 1.666667 to a fraction:

1. Let x = 1.666667 - equation (1)

2. The repeating digit is 6.

3. Place the repeating digit to the left of the decimal point.

In this case, move the decimal point 1 place to the right by multiplying it by 10.

Thus,

(x = 1.666667) * 10

10x = 16.66667 - equation (2)

4. Subtract Eq.(1) from Eq.(2)

10x - x = 16.66667 - 1.666667

9x = 15

divide both sides by 9

x = 15/9 or 5/3
