How do you convert the decimal 4.8 repeating?

Answer 1

Oh honey, you take that 4.8 with the little line on top that keeps on going like a broken record and you multiply it by 10 to get 48. Then you subtract the original number to get 9, and divide by 9 to simplify it to 1. So, that repeating decimal is equal to 4.8 with a line on top is 1.

Answer 2

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.
