Express 8/11 as a repeating decimal. Mark the cycle of repeating digits with a bar.
To express 8/11 as a repeating decimal, we can use long division:
0.72 7 2 7 2 7 2 7 2...
________________
11 | 8.00
- 7 7
--------

The remainder of each division is 8, so the decimal representation of 8/11 is 0.72 with a repeating cycle of 72. Therefore, we can express 8/11 as 0.72¯ (where the bar is placed over the repeating digits 72).
