Detailed Solution

We are given a fraction as follows, 11 24  .
To convert it into decimal form, we use the long division method and divide 11 by 24.
Question ImageSo, it can be observed that the remainder 8 is repeating itself.
So, the quotient that we obtained, i.e., 0.45833.....   , is therefore a recurring decimal.
So, we can rewrite the quotient as follows,
0.45833.....=0.458 3 ¯  .
Thus, the decimal form of 11 24   is obtained as 0.458 3 ¯  .
