Question

Which of the following fractions can be represented by a terminating decimal? A.8/5 B.8/3 C.1/11 D.4/9

Answer 1

D. 4/9 this is it possible

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a fraction p/q is in the simplified form, then it can be represented by terminating or non-terminating decimal.

If the denominator is 2, 5 or multiple of either 2 or 5, or both, then the fraction can represented by terminating decimal. Otherwise, the fraction can represented by non-terminating decimal.

Only in option A, the denominator is 5. So, only 8/5 an be represented by a terminating decimal.

$\frac{8}{5}=1.6$

$\frac{8}{3}=2.666...$

$\frac{1}{11}=0.0909...$

$\frac{4}{9}=0.444...$

Only 8/5 is terminating.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
