To show a repeating decimal you put a dot above the digit that repeats.
Count the number of digits in the repeating part and put it over that number of nines eg 17.3 repeater, there is only one repeating digit so put the 3 over one 9 and you get 1/3 or 1.142857142857 there are 6 digits in the repeating part so 142857/999999 = 1/7
You have to put that because if you cut the number off by not putting it there, you are not showing how the number keeps going. To have the number be more accurate, you should put in the repeating number symbol.
115/99
Some people use an ellipsis, some people put a line over the repeating part, some people write the word "repeating" or "recurring."

13 __ 3 _ _ 4.3 the over the 3 means repeating because the answer is 4.333333333333... so to simplify that would be to put the repeating sign over it.

You put the line over the number at the end of the decimal, number, or pattern that you want to keep keep repeating infinitely.
The bar is only used for repeating decimals. If it is repeating, you can use it.

Well since theres no repeating number you would just put none

0.16666 repeating hour
It is written as a decimal as 0.86 This is a repeating decimal and the repeating sign should be placed over the six which I am unable to do in this forum. It also is written as 86.67%.
