To turn
into a fraction you should do such steps:
1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .
2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by
to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by
. Thus, you have
or
.
3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore,
.
4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction:
. If you divide both sides by 9, you get
. When simplified, you get that
.

The answer to this question:
1596/17 or 93.88 or 93 15/17
There are 3260 quarts in 815 US gallons
.67%
hope this helps.
0.6/0.9= 0.666667
The larger value is 9 x 10^9
The smaller value is 3 x 10^(-4)
Divide the larger over the smaller
Doing so will have you divide the coefficients 9 and 3 (numbers in front of the "times ten to the..." portions) to get 9/3 = 3.
Then you'll also subtract the exponents: 9 minus (-4) = 9 - (-4) = 9 + 4 = 13
In summary so far, we got a coefficient of 3 and an exponent of 13
So the final answer is 3 x 10^13 (assuming you want scientific notation)
If you want to convert to standard notation, instead of scientific notation, move the decimal point in 3.0 thirteen spots to the right to get
30,000,000,000,000
there are 13 zeros (four groups of 3 plus one just after the 3) in that value above. This is the number 30 trillion
