-- Take one complete set of the repeated digits in the decimal.
Treat those digits as the numerator of a fraction.
-- The denominator of the fraction is a string of nines (99...) ...
just as many as there are digits in the numerator.
-- Reduce the fraction to lower terms (simplify) if it's possible
and you feel like it.
It is a repeating decimal.
The latter which would be an irrational number that cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
No, the sum of a repeating decimal and a terminating decimal is never a terminating decimal.
A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends. A repeating decimal is a decimal that goes on and on.
It is a repeating decimal.
0.875 is a terminating decimal and as a fraction it is 7/8
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.
The latter which would be an irrational number that cannot be expressed as a fraction.
A negative fraction need not be a terminating decimal. For example, -2/3 = -0.66... (repeating).
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
No, the sum of a repeating decimal and a terminating decimal is never a terminating decimal.
It is terminating - after two decimal digits.
To sum this answer up you half to turn the fraction into a decimal and if it ends that is terminating but if it keeps going it is called a repeating decimal EXAMPLES Terminating- 5/10=.5 Repeating- 1/3=.3333 (bar notation over the 3)
If a fraction, in its simplest form has a denominator whose only prime factors are 2 or 5, then the fraction is terminating. If the denominator has any other prime factor then the decimal is repeating.
It is not possible to have a terminating decimal which repeats or a repeating decimal which terminates. The two types are mutually exclusive.
A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends. A repeating decimal is a decimal that goes on and on.
