How do you write the decimal and percent for 8/9?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

#8/9 = 0.bar8 ~~0.889~~0.89#

#8/9 = 88 8/9% ~~ 88.89% ~~88.9%#

You must divide the numerator by the denominator in order to convert this fraction to a decimal.

#8/9 = 8div9 =0.888888.....# it is a recurring decimal.

This can be written as #0.bar8#, but can also be shown as #0.89 " or " 0.889#

As a percent it can be given as #88.9%# or #88.89%#

Since the answer is a recurrent decimal, it must be rounded.

For the percent answer, the following is a more suitable form:

#88 8/9%#

This is exact because it isn't rounded at all.
