the 2 zeros at the end
If it ends in a decimal, then it must be a whole number. Repeating could be ruled out immediately because even though theoretically it could be a thought of as a repeating decimal with infinite zeros repeating, adding zeros doesn't change the quantity and you could in theory add infinite zeros to the end of ANY decimal. That does not make it repeating.
The only way to make another decimal that's equivalent to 7.16 is to add zeros on the end of it. For example: 7.1600000
24.30 can be written as 24.3 without losing or altering its value since zeros at the end after a decimal point have really no value (except to show precision). So the two are equal. Note that zeros at the end but before a decimal point do have value
That is already written as decimal. So you have the answer. ============================ There are an infinite number of ways to do that. Start with 100.0 and add any number of zeros to the right end.
