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

When you divide 8 by 11, it gives:

\[ 8 \div 11 = 0.727272... \]

This means that the decimal form of \( \frac{8}{11} \) is \( 0.727272... \), where "72" repeats indefinitely.

Thus, you can express the decimal as:

Answer: \( 0.\overline{72} \)

In this notation, the line over "72" indicates that these digits repeat indefinitely.
