Answer:

B and D

Explanation:

A terminating decimal differs from a repeating decimal in that ; terminating decimals have a finite number of numbers after a decimal point whereby repeating decimals Don not have a fine number of numbers after the decimal point.

Given :

A. 2/7 = 0.2857...

B. 3/2 = 1.5

C. 2/3 = 0.6666...

D. 3/5 = 0.6

E. 5/9 = 0.5555...

B and D are terminating decimal values.
