Practice recurring decimals to fractions with 46 English flashcards on repeating blocks, decimal shifts, and exact answers. This deck is for secondary-school and adult learners who can simplify fractions and solve a simple linear equation. For basic conversions, use the fractions, decimals, and percentages flashcards.
Most cards ask you to convert a specified recurring decimal into a simplified fraction, choose a multiplier or matching pair of shifts, or correct one algebra mistake. Four reverse cards ask for the repeating decimal of a given fraction, providing a short check on the forward method. Parentheses on a prompt mark digits that repeat forever; every prompt using them states that convention. An overline on an answer marks the repeating block.
The sequence starts with notation and one-digit repetition, then introduces two- and three-digit blocks, leading zeros, and the reason subtraction cancels matching tails. Mixed recurring decimals add one or two non-repeating places. Later cards include values above one, selected reverse checks, simplification errors, and exactness checks, including recurring nines. Related recall variants are separated. Every card carries the recurring-decimals tag; the review scheduler supplies longer-term spacing.
This is focused algebra practice, not a conversion lookup table or a full long-division course. Exhaustive reverse conversions are excluded because a few checks give useful feedback without doubling every exercise. Percentages, general fraction arithmetic, negative values, long repeating periods, financial or dosage examples, geometric-series proofs, and advanced number theory are outside scope. No full-course or examination alignment is claimed.
The questions, answers, sequence, and metadata were written independently with AI assistance. Examples were derived using exact rational arithmetic and reviewed for their repetition boundaries and algebra. General notation and conversion principles were cross-checked against Repeating decimal; source wording and exercises were not copied. Original material and the AI-generated decorative cover are dedicated under CC0 1.0 to the extent applicable rights exist. Mathematical facts are not claimed as proprietary, and reference sources retain their own licenses. The cover is decorative, not a worked mathematical diagram.

Pertanyaan
In 0.2(41), where parentheses repeat forever, which digits repeat?
Jawaban
The block 41 repeats; the first 2 does not. The decimal begins 0.2414141 and continues with 41 forever.

Pertanyaan
Why can subtracting two shifted recurring decimals remove all digits after the decimal point?
Jawaban
Their entire fractional parts are equal, so their difference is zero. Match both the repeating block and its starting position before subtracting.
