Could someone please explain how you could get 6.6667 as 6 2/3?
Thankyou. This was an answer to a problem, and I could not figure out how it was converted from 6.6667 to 6 2/3. My answer was 6 33/50. I did not know if there was a way by hand to quickly convert the answer as 6 2/3, because obviously I could not do it. This leads to my confusion of how to reach this type of answer by hand or quickly with a standard calculator.
The only fractions that can be expressed exactly in decimal notation are those with denominators that are a power of 2 times a power of 5. No other fraction can be expressed exactly in decimal notation.Thankyou. This was an answer to a problem, and I could not figure out how itwas converted from 6.6667 to 6 2/3. Myanswer was 6 33/50.

Here is the original problem:
If 50 bottles of soda can be made in 4/3 hour, how many hours will it take to make 250 bottles of soda?
