To convert the decimal number 3.166 (with the repeating 6) to a fraction, we can follow these steps:
Let x=3.166.
We can multiply both sides of the equation by a power of 10 to eliminate the repeating decimal part. Since there is one digit repeating after the decimal point, we multiply by 10:
10x=31.666
Next, we subtract the original equation from the multiplied equation to eliminate the repeating part:
10xx=31.6663.166
Simplifying the equation, we get:
9x=28.5
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 9:
x=28.59
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
x=316
Therefore, the decimal 3.166 is equal to the fraction 316.
Hence, the answer is 316.
