How to turn 1/9 into a decimal
Divide the top number by the bottom one: 1 ÷ 9. 9 does not go into 1, so write 0 and a decimal point, put a 0 after the 1 and divide:
- 10 ÷ 9 = 1, remainder 1 (1 × 9 = 9). Remainder 1 again, the number the division started from, so the digits repeat forever: 0.1111…
To read it as a percentage, move the decimal point two places to the right: 11.11%.
