Question

I f I have a calculator and I'm doing bar notation, how do I put the equation?

Answer 1

can you be a bit more specific? are you trying, for example, to find the fraction for
\[\overline{.4}\]?

Answer 2

you can't put a bar in your calculator, unless i am confused about what you actually want to do

Answer 3

yes but like this \[\frac{ 3 }{ 5 } \] as a decimal

Answer 4

ok as a decimal
\[\frac{3}{5}=0.6\] it does not repeat

Answer 5

OOOOOH i see what you mean!!!!!

Answer 6

you want do compute this
\[\frac{3}{5}\] on a calculator right?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

that is what you mean by "bar notation" yes?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

ok i was confused
that is a fraction bar
and
\[\frac{a}{b}\] means
\[a\div b\]

Answer 11

so if you want
\[\frac{3}{5}\] on a calculator, type in \(3\div 5\)

Answer 12

is that what you were trying to do?

Answer 13

Ya and they said to do with it paper and pencil you have to put \[5\div3.0\]

Answer 14

So I used a calculator instead.

Answer 15

what is the exact question?

Answer 16

Write each fraction or mixed number as a decimal. Use bar notation if the decimal is a repeating decimal.

Answer 18

ok i got it
name a fraction, and we can do it

Answer 19

Ok and thank you for this

Answer 20

no problem

Answer 21

\[7\frac{ 9 }{ 22 }\]

Answer 22

ok so this is a mixed number and you want a decimal right?

Answer 23

right

Answer 24

you know it is going to be \(7.something\)

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

to find the "something" with a calculator, type in \[9\div 22\]

Answer 27

Answer 28

:O its repeating.

Answer 29

yeah i know
then we can use another "bar"
write what you get

Answer 30

Answer 31

\[0.409 \] I cant put the notation bar

Answer 32

ok but you see what repeats right? not the 4, but only the 09090909...

Answer 33

yes

Answer 34

so it is written like this: i am going to write it large
\[\huge 7.4\overline{09}\]

Answer 35

Yes how do you put the notation bar?

Answer 36

that bar up top indicates that the \(09\) part is repeating

Answer 37

trade secret, nsa clearance only

Answer 38

Answer 39

actually i am writing latex code
you probably don't want to start doing that, but if you want to see the code, right click and select "show math as" then "latex"

Answer 43

ok good
and what exactly did you get?
