Question

13 is the same as 1÷3. What is the exact quotient in decimal form of 1÷3?

Answer 1

13 is not the same as 1/3! The division symbol is not a symbol used to connect two numbers, it is used to find their quotient. For example, 6/2 would be like saying: You have 6 cookies, and 2 friends. How many cookies does each friend get? The answer is obviously not 62, it is 3! So, the exact quotient is 0.3 repeating. You could memorize this or use the fact that 0.9 repeating is 1.

Answer 2

Answer:

There is not an exact number, but an approximate one for: $\frac{1}{3}=0.\bar{3}=0.3333....\approx0.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

(Supposing that 13 on the text means $\frac{1}{3}$)

$\frac{1}{3}$ is the same as 1÷3.What is the exact quotient in decimal form of 1÷3?

Since the quotient of $\frac{1}{3}$ is a repeating (not terminating) decimal, there is no exact quotient but an approximate number:

$\frac{1}{3}=0.\bar{3}=0.3333....\approx0.3$
