Is 0.875 a terminating or a repeating decimal?
0.875 is a terminating decimal and as a fraction it is 7/8
What is a terminating fraction?
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)
Are decimals in a fraction always rational numbers?
There are are three types of decimals: terminating, repeating and non-terminating/non-repeating. The first two are rational, the third is not.
Is 0.66 a terminating or repeating decimal?
It is terminating - after two decimal digits.
What is 3.888888888888889 in fraction form?
If that is a rounded repeating decimal then it is 38/9. If that is a terminating decimal then it is 3888888888888889/1000000000000000
Is 0.875 a terminating or a repeating decimal?
0.875 is a terminating decimal and as a fraction it is 7/8
Is the fraction 13 a terminating or repeating decimal?
It is a repeating decimal.
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.
How do you cover a negative fraction into a terminating decimal?
A negative fraction need not be a terminating decimal. For example, -2/3 = -0.66... (repeating).
Who of the following cannot be written as a fraction an integer a terminating decimal a repeating decimal and a non-terminating non repeating decimal?
The latter which would be an irrational number that cannot be expressed as a fraction.

How are terminating decimals and repeating decimal reflected in fractions?
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.
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.
Can every rational fraction be written as a repeating decimal?
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
What causes the difference in terminating decimals and repeating decimals?
If a fraction is a rational number then if the denominator goes into the numerator or into the numerator multiplied by a power of 10, then you will have a terminating decimal. Otherwise it will be a repeating decimal.
Is 10.3 repeating a terminating decimal?
No, the question contradicts itself. If it is repeating then it cannot be terminating and if it is terminating then it cannot be repeating!
How do write 0.324 repeating as a fraction?
0.324 is a terminating fraction. The only way to express it as a repeating fraction is to express it as 0.323999... (repeating).
