Prediction: 5/9 will be a repeating decimal where the digits repeat after the decimal point.

Let's divide 5 by 9 to find the decimal form:

5 ÷ 9 ≈ 0.555555555...

The result is indeed a repeating decimal where the digit "5" repeats infinitely after the decimal point. This confirms our prediction.

To find the decimal from the fraction of Jackson's shots that resulted in a basket, we take the number of successful shots (9) and divide it by the total number of shots attempted (27).

9 (successful shots) ÷ 27 (total shots) = 0.333

Therefore, the decimal form of the fraction 9/27 is 0.333.
