Write the decimal equivalent, using the bar notation.
5/11
I am wondering if I am doing this correct? 11divided by 5 which equals 0.4545 with the 45 repeating.
5 divided by 11. Not 11 divided by 5.
But you came up with the correct answer. It would be .45 with a line over the 45.

i don't know what 2/3, 5/8,4/5 in repeating decimals
To find the decimal equivalent of 5/11 using bar notation, you need to divide 5 by 11. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by dividing 5 by 11: 5 ÷ 11 = 0.45454545...
2. Notice that the decimal digits after the decimal point start repeating after the second decimal place (45 repeats).
3. To represent this repeating pattern, you can place a bar or line over the repeating digits. So the decimal equivalent of 5/11 is 0.45 with a line over the 45, which is written as 0.45 with a bar.
In your calculation, you mistakenly divided 11 by 5 instead of 5 by 11. So be careful with the order of division when finding decimal equivalents.
