Answer:

See below

Explanation:

If the denominator of a fraction has only factors of 2 and 5, the decimal expression terminates.

If the denominator contains a factor other than 2 or 5, then the decimal expression repeats.

56/72 is a repeating decimal

72 contains a factor of 9.

12/30 is a terminating decimal.

30 contains factors of 2 and 5

15/40 is a terminating decimal.

40 contains factors of 2 and 5

12/37 is a repeating decimal.

37 does not contain factors of 2 or 5.
