When a Vulgar Fraction such as 2/3rds is converted to Decimal form, we get the answer 0.6666666 In other words, the number 6 gets repeated forever. Sometimes a Vulgar Fraction, when changed to Decimal form , gives a result such as 0.283283283283 These are both examples of repeated notation. When describing my second example , we would say ' 0.283 repeated' which means these figures will be repeated forever and you will never come to a stop. The quantity 1/7 = 0.142871428714287 and goes on forever, so we say the result is. 0.14287 repeated. Instead of writing the word repeated , some people place an asterisk just above, and very close to the last figure .
Exponents can be used to simplify notation when the same factor is repeated
Powers are a convenient shortcut for repeated multiplication.
To write repeated multiplication in an exponential notation, you should write the number that has to be multiplied as the base. Count the number of times that the number is used.
7.3(3) The notation (3) indicates that the 3 is repeated over and over infinitely, as 1/3 is a nonterminating number in decimal.
Asthai is the basic and opening part of the raga. It is repeated throughout the alaap. Asthai brings together melody, rhythm and tempo. It has definite form and is repeated from time to time. It offers the raga a framework, a skeleton for the performer to fill in with his improvisation. It generally moves in the lower tetrachord.

An Exponent is a shorthand notation for repeated multiplication of the same factor. For instance: 5^4 actually means 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 625

................................................................._0.384333 using the bar notation = 0.3843(the bar should be placed above the repeated decimal. In this case, it should be above the 2nd 3 from the decimal point.
Bar notation is a decimal with a repeated number with a line on top of the repeated number. EX.) 4.23232323 would be 4.23 with a line over the 4.23. another... EX.) 5. 22222222222222 would be 5.22 with a line over the 5.22. Last one ... cut off after the second 7 put a line OVER the bolded 7 EX.) 7.907777777777 would be 7.9077 with a line over the 7.9077. that is bar notation :)

All they are asking you to do is divide 142 by 3. 142/3 = 47.3 repeated. (Add the notation bar over it)
It is 0.6666 (6 repeated infinitely, usually shown as 0.66, with a bar notation above the 6). Typically this is rounded to either 0.67 or 0.667.
0.225 Repeated, 0.225, 0.25 Repeated and 0.25.
