83 1/3 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on decimal conversion. To convert a mixed number into a decimal, we need to understand both whole numbers and fractions. A mixed number like 83 1/3 consists of a whole number (83) and a fraction (1/3). A decimal is a way to express numbers that are not whole; it uses a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, while those to the right represent the fractional part.

83 1/3 as a decimal

Answer

 

83 1/3 in decimal form is 83.33333… It is a recurring decimal, meaning that it repeats the same digit indefinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 83 1/3 into a decimal, we first need to convert the fractional part (1/3) into a decimal. Let's break down the process step by step:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator of the fraction. Here, the numerator (1) is the dividend, and the denominator (3) is the divisor.

 

Step 2: Because 1 is smaller than 3, we use the decimal method to perform the division, which will yield 0.3333…

 

Step 3: Convert the whole number part, 83, into a decimal, which remains 83.

 

Step 4: Combine the whole number part and the fractional decimal part. Add 0.3333… to 83, resulting in 83.3333… The division process for the fraction continues indefinitely, making it a recurring decimal.
