How do you convert the decimal 4.8 repeating?

Answer 1

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.
