Question

Show an example of converting a rational number to a decimal using long division and declare as terminating or repeating.

Answer 1

Take a fraction (Rational Number) and divide the top number (Numerator) by the bottom number (Denominator).

Explanation:

As an example, let's use 7/8. In this case, you will take 7 and divide it by 8. The quotient will be 0.875, which is this rational number in decimal form. Sometimes, the decimal will repeat after dividing the numbers, for example, 1/3 will become 0.3 where the 3 is repeating. This also works with mixed numbers. You take the fraction and used the process I just discussed, then you take the whole number and put it in front of the decimal point.

Answer 2

look at explanation

Explanation:

if you try to turn 1/3 into a decimal it will go on forever and turn into 0.333.......

and go on forever. The same thing happens when you use 4/3.
