Question

How do you write 17/25 in a decimal and also does the decimal terminate or repeat

Answer 1

Firstly we need to realize that 17/25 is as much as 68/100 (because 4 * 17 = 68 and 4 * 25 = 100). Now we can write it as a decimal of 0.68.

0.68 is a terminate decimal because there is no other digit than 0 we can add on its right hand side.
