How do you write

1/12
as a decimal?

1 answer

To convert \( \frac{1}{12} \) into a decimal, you can perform the division of 1 by 12.

When you divide 1 by 12, you get:

\[ 1 \div 12 = 0.0833\ldots \]

This decimal continues with the digit '3' repeating indefinitely. Therefore, it can also be expressed as:

\[ 0.0833\ldots = 0.0833\overline{3} \]

In summary, \( \frac{1}{12} \) as a decimal is approximately \( 0.0833\overline{3} \).
