What is two sixths as a decimal?
2/6 can be simplified to 1/3 but this has no effect on the decimal equivalent which is 0.333333...... (with the number 3 going on indefinitely). This is said to be a recurring decimal number and is written with a line over the recurring portion to indicate that it is repeated indefinitely. In this case, the decimal number would be written 0.3 (with a line over the figure 3).
What is the line over a repetitive decimal?
If there is a line over a decimal, it means the decimal is repetitive. If you are typing it would look like this... .7
How do you Change 11 over 20 in to a decimal number?
To convert a fraction to a decimal you need to divide the numerator (the number above the line) by the denominator (the number below the line). 11/20 = 0.55
Is there a positive real number that closest to zero on the number line?
Real numbers include fractional and decimal numbers. So the closest-to-zero positive real number would be 0.00000000...001; that is, an an infinite number of zeros between the decimal and the 1.
When a number repeats itself do you put the line under or on top of the line?
The vinculum is placed on top of the repeating number after the decimal. For example, 1/3 would be written out as .333333 or .3 with the vinculum above the three.
