How do you convert 10 over 3?

Answer 1

Depends what you are converting it to.

For a fraction:

10/3 is equivalent to 3 with a remainder of 1

so

10/3 = 3 1/3

If you want to convert it to a decimal:

3 goes into 10 3 times, with a remainder of 1. This is the most number of times it can stay as a whole number. After this, everything is a fraction of a number so comes after the decimal point.

With one third (1/3) remaining, you have to make this a decimal too. 1/3 as a decimal is .3 recurring.

So we have 3 (whole number) .3 recurring

So:

10/3 = 3 1/3

10/3 = 3.3r

therefore

3 1/3 = 3.3r
