<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fractions are one such type. A fraction is always represented in the form p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fractions represent a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2. Numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 5.33333333. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Recognize the repeating decimal. Here, the digit 3 is repeating. To express this as a fraction,<a>set</a>x = 5.33333333...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point by one place to the right. 10x = 53.3333333...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point by one place to the right. 10x = 53.3333333...</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract the original equation from this new equation to eliminate the repeating part. 10x - x = 53.3333333... - 5.33333333... 9x = 48</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract the original equation from this new equation to eliminate the repeating part. 10x - x = 53.3333333... - 5.33333333... 9x = 48</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x. x = 48/9 Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3. 48/9 = 16/3</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x. x = 48/9 Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3. 48/9 = 16/3</p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, 5.33333333 can be written as a fraction 16/3.</strong></p>
