What is the Fraction ⅔ as a Decimal?
Answer – The fraction when written as a decimal would be or 0.67.
Explanation:
In order to convert a fraction into a decimal, division must be performed.
The numerator is divided by the denominator.
In the case of the fraction , the numerator is 2 and the denominator is 3.
The decimal is a recurring one. In the division function, the remainder will never be zero.
Recurring decimals can be written in a few different ways.
One way is by placing a bar over the digit that is recurring – . The bar indicates that the decimal is a recurring one.
Another method is by rounding up the last digit. Here, it could be written as 0.67, 0.667, 0.6667 or as the writer chooses. Since 6 is the recurring number, rounding it up one number produces 7. Instead of repeating the 6, using the ellipsis (…) or using the bar, the decimal can be given a fixed number of digits by replacing the last 6 with a 7.
