Answer:
a) YES. Repeating decimal
b) YES. Repeating decimal
c) NO. Decimal neither terminates nor repeats
d) YES. Terminating decimal
Step-by-step explanation:
Any rational number can be written as a fraction, that is, a division of integers.
a) The number has a repetitive period of 54. It can be expressed as a fraction because its decimal are repeating forever
b) The number 0.16666... (expressed as a repeating 6) can also be converted to a fraction because it's a repeating decimal
c) The number 0.5473... cannot be expressed as a fraction because the ellipsis (...) means the decimals continue with no limit and no pattern can be found (no repetitive decimal)
d) The number 0.378 can be easily expressed as a fraction because it has a finite number of decimals (no ellipsis) or a terminating decimal
