express 8/11 as a repeating decimal

1 answer

To express 8/11 as a repeating decimal, you need to perform long division. Here's how:

0.

___________________________
11 | 8.000000000000000
- 7.3 0
________________
2.7000000000
- 2.7000
_______________
0.0

As we can see, the remainder becomes 0, so the decimal terminates. Therefore, 8/11 = 0.72.
