Step-by-step explanation:
The overbar on decimal digits means they repeat forever.
Any fraction with a denominator consisting of powers of 2 and/or 5 will terminate. These can be converted to decimal by multiplying the fraction by a number to make the denominator an appropriate power of ten.
1 2/3 = 1.66666666666... repeating
1 3/5 = 1 (3·2)/(5·2) = 1 6/10 = 1.6
1 1/4 = 1 (1·25)/(4·25) = 1 25/100 = 1.25
1 33/50 = 1 (33·2)/(50·2) = 1 66/100 = 1.66
Of course, your calculator can tell you the decimal equivalents, too.
