Predict the decimal for 5/9. Divide to check your prediction, and describe the results.
To predict the decimal for 5/9, we divide 5 by 9.
The result is:
5 Γ· 9 = 0.55555555...
To check this prediction, we can perform the division to get a decimal representation for 5/9:
5 Γ· 9 β 0.55555556
The result is an approximation because the decimal representation of 5/9 is a repeating decimal. It starts with 0.5555 and continues indefinitely with the digit 5 repeating.
