How do you write

Question

1
3
as a decimal?

Answer 1

To convert the fraction \( \frac{1}{3} \) into a decimal, you can divide 1 by 3.

When you do the division:

1 ÷ 3 = 0.333...

The decimal representation of \( \frac{1}{3} \) is 0.333..., which is a repeating decimal. This can also be written as \( 0.\overline{3} \) to indicate that the 3 repeats indefinitely.

So, \( \frac{1}{3} \) as a decimal is \( 0.333... \) or \( 0.\overline{3} \).
