Answer 1

To convert the fraction \( \frac{8}{11} \) into a decimal, you can divide 8 by 11.

Performing the division:

\[ 8 \div 11 = 0.7272727272... \]

This can be rounded to approximately \( 0.73 \) for simplicity. The decimal \( 0.727272... \) has a repeating pattern of "72".

So, \( \frac{8}{11} \) as a decimal is \( 0.\overline{72} \) or approximately \( 0.73 \).
