A: 1/3
B: 1/5

D: 1/9

Answer 1

The correct answer option is B. 1/5.

Explanation:

We are given four fractions in the answer options and we are to determine whether which one of them has terminating decimal as its decimal expansion.

Terminating decimal means a decimal value which has a finite amount of numbers and has an end to it.

`(1)/(3) = 0.333333333`

`(1)/(5) = 0.2`

`(1)/(7) = 0.142357142`

`(1)/(9) = 0.111111111`

Therefore, the correct answer is 1/5.
