6/11=0.bar54=54.bar54%611=0.¯¯¯¯54=54.¯¯¯¯54%

Explanation:

An interesting pattern:

1/9=0.bar119=0.¯1

1/99=0.bar01199=0.¯¯¯¯01

1/999=0.bar0011999=0.¯¯¯¯¯¯001 And so on.

Let's turn 6/11611 to a fraction with a denominator of 9999

6/11*9/9=>54/99611995499

This tells us that:

6/11=0.bar54611=0.¯¯¯¯54

Multiply this by 100 (move the decimal point two places to the right) to get the percent form.

The percent form is:

54.bar54%54.¯¯¯¯54% This is the answer!
