Question

5/16 with bar notation

Answer 1

The bar notation is used to indicate that a digit or a sequence of digits repeats indefinitely. To express 5/16 with a bar notation, we need to find the decimal equivalent of 5/16 and identify any repeating digits.

To convert 5/16 to a decimal, we can perform the division as follows:

0.3125

The decimal equivalent of 5/16 is 0.3125. Since there are no repeating digits, we cannot express it with a bar notation.

Answer 2

5/16 with bar notation is written as 0.3125, where the bar is placed over the digit "5" to indicate that it repeats infinitely. This notation is used to represent a repeating decimal, where the digit or group of digits after the bar repeats infinitely without terminating. In this case, the digit "5" repeats infinitely after the decimal point.
