Give one more example of a fraction, or mixed number, whose decimal form repeats. Round the repeating decimal to the ten thousandths place.

One example of a fraction with a repeating decimal form is \( \frac{5}{6} \).

To find its decimal form:

\[
\frac{5}{6} = 0.83333\ldots
\]

The decimal \( 0.83333\ldots \) repeats with the digit 3.

Now, rounding it to the ten thousandths place:

\[
0.83333 \approx 0.8333
\]
