Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given question asks to convert the fraction into its decimal form, and if necessary, use a bar to indicate repeating digits.
Let's perform the division of 4 by 9:
The digit 4 repeats indefinitely, so the decimal representation of is:
The bar (overline) is placed over the repeating digit 4 to indicate that it repeats infinitely.
