Question

8 19. Marcus claims that fractions with denominators 1 through 10 follow a pattern

when they are converted to decimal form. If any one fraction can be converted
to a terminating decimal, then all of the fractions with that same denominator
will also convert to terminating decimals. On the other hand, if one fraction
converts to a repeating decimal, then all fractions with that same denominator
will convert to a repeating decimal. Is Marcus correct? Explain.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Marcus is not correct because 1/12 converts to the repeating decimal 0.8333... but 3/12 converts to 0.25 which is not a repeating decimal.
