Question

Use long division to find a repeated decimal equivalency for the fraction 8/9. Upload all of your work as part of your final answer. All work must be shown to prove why this is a repeating decimal.

Answer 1

HEYA!!!!


The number is terminating only if the denominator has numbers such as

`{2}^(x) * {5}^(y)`
Where X and Y are two natural numbers where either X and Y could be 0.

So 9 factors are 3^2.

0.88888888.....

Hope it helps you.
