The tricky thing about solving $0.5/\overline{305}$ is knowing where the decimal goes in the answer. First you need to know that the original number $305$ can be written as $305.00$. (The number of zeros after the decimal point is not important.) So $0.5/\overline{305}$ can be written as $0.5/\overline{305.00}$. Now follow the four steps for dividing decimal numbers:
So instead of doing $0.5/\overline{305}$, you actually solve $$5/\overline{3050.0}$$
