since $\frac{1}{3}=0.3333...$ you know $\frac{2}{3}=0.66666...$

sometimes written as $\overline{.6}$

anonymous · Answer

2/3 as a decimal is 0.6666666666666666 (it keeps going) but if you're doing a math problem that wants you to round it to the nearest hundredth, it would be 0.67 (because the 6 rounds to 7).

2 apples divided among 3 people, if each person got 1/2 of an apple, that would be 0.5, and there's still another 1/2 left over. 0.5 / 3 is 0.1666. 0.5 + 0.1666 = 0.6666...

no matter how many times you keep dividing it will keep coming out as 0.666, plus another 6, plus another six, etc.

This may not seem important, but since the denominator is 3, I thought I'd throw my chips in as well. Divide any number number by 9 and something cool happens:$$\frac{ 6 }{ 9} (i.e.2/3)=.6666666666....$$$$\frac{ 4 }{ 9}=.4444444....$$$$\frac{ 13 }{ 9 }=1\frac{ 4 }{ 9 }=1.444444....$$
