Write the whole number down.
Convert the decimal into a fraction.
Write the fraction next to the whole number and treat it as a mixed fraction.
Thus:
4.1666.....
Step I: 4
Step II: 0.1666... = 1/6
Step III: Answer = 41/6
You could convert 41/6 to 25/6 if you like.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the top number by the bottom number.
The easiest way it to convert them all to decimals. Carry out the repeating decimals to an equal number of places. Then it is easy to put them in order.
No. Anything that has a finite number of decimals (or repeating decimals) is a rational number.
Repeating decimals are always rational.
Repeating decimals consist of a fixed string of digits which repeat infinitely in the decimal representation of a number. These may start anywhere after a finite number of digits.

All repeating decimals are rational numbers. Not all rational numbers are repeating decimals.

No. Repeating decimals are rational.
A repeating decimal is a rational number. Its value is(the repeating set of digits)/(as many 9s as there are digits above).
Repeating decimals are rational numbers if there is a pattern, like 0.22222222. If it is not a pattern, like 0.568964329, it is an irrational number.
Some decimals are non-repeating numbers, and some aren't.
Any non-repeating decimals
Repeating decimals consist of a fixed string of digits which repeat infinitely in the decimal representation of a number. These may start anywhere after a finite number of digits.
To convert the decimal 4.8 with the "8" repeating to a fraction, you can use the formula for repeating decimals. Since there is only one repeating digit, you can multiply the entire number by 10 to shift the repeating part to the left of the decimal point. This gives you 10x = 48. Subtracting the original number from the shifted number gives you 10x - x = 48 - 4.8, which simplifies to 9x = 43.2. Dividing both sides by 9 gives you x = 4.8 repeating as a fraction, which is 48/9 or 16/3.
