Best Answer

You need to divide 1 by 3. This is best done by what is known as the bus-stop method or long division but any method that works is OK. In converting any rational fraction into a decimal, you will find either that the division comes to an end or that it starts to loop back. In the first case the decimal representation of the fraction is terminating and in the second it is recurring.

With 1/3 you will get 0.3, 0.33, 0.333 and so on: a recurring decimal. The answer can be given as 0.3 recurring, or you can round it at some suitable place.
