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: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 13.333 is the number in the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 13.333 becomes 13.333/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 decimal places in the repeating part). 13.333/1 × 1000/1000 = 13333/1000

Step 3: Recognizing the repeating decimal part (.333), we convert it by recognizing that 0.333 is equivalent to 1/3. So, 13.333 is 13 + 1/3, which as an improper fraction is 40/3.

Thus, 13.333 can be written as a fraction 40/3.
