To find out if the fraction terminates or repeats, we have to solve the long division and see what happens with the residue:

notice that each time we divide we will get 2 as the residue, therefore, the fraction 5/6 repeats.

Next, for 3/12 we have the following:

in this case, we have that the residue is 0, then, the fraction 3/12 terminates.

Doing the same as the previous cases, we have the following for the last fractions:


\begin{gathered} (8)/(18)=0.444\ldots \\ (1)/(11)=0.909090\ldots \end{gathered}

then, the fractions 8/18 and 1/11 repeat
