Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Identify the repeating part of the decimal. Here, 2.6666666667 has the repeating part "6".

Step 3: Now subtract the original number from this equation to remove the repeating part. 10x - x = 26.666666667 - 2.6666666667 9x = 24

 

Step 4: Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9. x = 24/9

 

Step 5: Simplify the fraction. The GCD of 24 and 9 is 3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3. 24/9 = 8/3
