How do you know whether a decimal is repeating or terminating or can it be both?
over the second letter in the equation there will be a line this means repeating if the line is not present this means terminating
How do you know whether a number is non-terminating repeating?
A non-terminating repeating number must be rational. When its fractional part is in its simplest form, the denominator must have a prime factor other than 2 or 5.
3.25 repeating as a fraction?
The answer will depend on whether the fraction is 3.2525... or 3.2555...
What is 8.57 repeating as a fraction?
The answer depends on what string is repeating. It is not clear from the question whether the recurring fraction is meant to be 8.575757... or 8.577777...
What is the fraction for 0.26 repeating?
The answer depends on what string is repeating. It is not clear from the question whether the recurring fraction is meant to be 0.262626... or 0.266666...
How can you predict whether a quotient will be a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?
They are the same thing a non-terminating is a non-repeating decimal
What can you predict whether a quotient will be a terminating decimal or repeating decimal?
If the denominator of the fraction, when written in its simplest form, has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it will be a repeating decimal fraction otherwise it will terminate.
How can you predict whether a quotient will be terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?
If the denominator of the fraction, when written in its simplest form, has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it will be a repeating decimal fraction otherwise it will terminate.
How do you determine whether you can write a given decimal as a fraction?
If the decimal is terminating or repeating then it can be written as a fraction. Decimal representations which are non-terminating and non-repeating cannot be expressed as a fraction.
What do you do to check whether a number is rational or irrational?
If its decimal representation is either terminating or a repeating number then it is rational. Otherwise it is irrational.
How can you predict whether a fraction will give a recurring or terminating decimal?
Reduce the fraction to its simplest form - that is, remove any common factors between the numerator and denominator. If the denominator now is a factor of some power of 10, that is, if the denominator is of the form 2a*5b then the fraction will me a terminating decimal. If not, it will not.

How can you if a decimal is a terminating or repeating?
It depends. Suppose the fraction can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. When the fraction is in its simplest form, if the denominator has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then the decimal is repeating. If the only prime factors are 2 and 5 then it is terminating. However, given a decimal representation, it is generally not possible to tell whether it will terminate after a while, or settle into a repeating pattern or if the pattern that looks as if it is repeating changes.
How do you know whether a number is non-terminating repeating?
A non-terminating repeating number must be rational. When its fractional part is in its simplest form, the denominator must have a prime factor other than 2 or 5.
3.25 repeating as a fraction?
The answer will depend on whether the fraction is 3.2525... or 3.2555...
What is 0.75 repeating as a fraction?
The answer depends on what string is repeating. It is not clear from the question whether the recurring fraction is meant to be 0.757575... or 0.755555...
What is 0.08 repeating as a fraction?
The answer depends on what string is repeating. It is not clear from the question whether the recurring fraction is meant to be 0.080808... or 0.088888...
