@phi

Answer 2

is that
\[ 0.\overline {13} \]

Answer 3

no it doesn't say that

Answer 4

ok, if it is just
0.13
that means 13/100

Answer 5

so if the last digit is in the hundredth place I put it over 100

Answer 6

the numbers to the right of the decimal point are
tenths (1/10), hundreths (1/100), thousandths (1/1000)

if you see just a single number like 0.3
then that means 3/10
if you see two numbers, like 0.23
that means 23/100

if you see three numbers, like 0.012
that means 012/1000 or 12/1000
