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, 0.166666667 is the repeating part with '6' repeating. We can write it as 3.1(6).

Step 3: Multiply by 10 again to shift the repeating part after the decimal point: 100x = 316.6666667.

 

Step 4: Subtract the two equations: 100x - 10x = 316.6666667 - 31.6666667, which simplifies to 90x = 285.

 

Step 5: Solve for x: x = 285/90.

 

Step 6: Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 15: 285/90 = 19/6.
