Question

Which of thw following fractions are repeating and which are terminating? Show how you made your decisons.

a. 2/15
b. 11/20
c. 17/14
d. 1/12

Answer 1

Terminating decimal is 11/20.
Releasing decimals are 2/15, 1/12, and 17/14.
I made these decisions, terminating decimals do not repeat forever, and 11/20 (0.55) does not have any repeating decimals.
2/15, 1/12, and 17/14 all are reappearing decimals, because the decimals never end and just simply keep going on.
