Without actually performing the long division, state whether the following rational numbers will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non-terminating repeating
(i) (ii)
(iii) (iv)
(v)
(i) 8 = 23 since the denominator is of the form 2m therefore the expression is terminating.
(ii) 441 = 32 × 72 since the denominator is not in the form of 2m and 5n Therefore the given expression is Non-terminating repeating
(iii) =
10 = 2×5 therefore the denominator is of the form 2m × 5n
Hence, the given expression is Terminating
(iv) =
=
30 = 2×3×5
Since the denominator is not of the form 2m × 5n
Hence, the given expression is Non-terminating repeating Terminating
(v)
Since the denominator is not in the form 2m × 5n
Hence, the given expression is Non-terminating repeating Terminating
