What was true about the sinking of the USS Maine?
kykrilka [37]

Option B, Spain arrested several Cubans it was believed to have caused the blast was true about the sinking of the USS Maine.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Originally, the ship's disappearance, the USS Maine, prompted Spain to consider it blown up in a bay, near Havana. Yellow journalism was a trend that encouraged newspapers to sympathize with or encourage the cause of the Spanish revolution.

Nevertheless, the truth was that the engine of the ship was not functioning properly. This was discussed years after the fire in 1898.

The burning of the ship actually caused some people to want to have the USA to declare war on Spain as they killed the Americans on ship.  Nonetheless, Spain didn't actually destroy the ship because of the incorrect information. The USA used the blast to wage war on Spain, and the Spanish-American War was won in 1898. It was the blast.

Classify the decimal expansion of each fraction as a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal
Agata [3.3K]

Hello there!

terminal: 60/120

Repeating: 56/72 21/22 11/121

Remember: Terminating decimals end, repeating decimals don't (and go on forever.)

To find which are which, divide each fraction out.

56/72: 56 divided by 72 = 0.77777777777... (going on forever, making this repeating)

21/22: 21 divided by 22 = 0.95454545454.... (going on forever, making this repeating)

11/121: 11 divided by 121 = 0.0909090909 (going on forever, making this repeating)

60/120: 60 divided by 120 = 0.5 (ending at that, making it terminal)

So this means that only one of them, 60/120, is terminal and the rest are repeating. I hope this helps and have a great rest of your day! :)
