Answer:

The decimal equivalent of 34/5 is 6.8. It is a terminating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction will have a terminating decimal representation if its denominator is some product of powers of 2 and powers of 5. Here, the denominator is 5, so the decimal fraction will terminate.

34/5 = 68/10 = 6.8 . . . . . this is a terminating decimal value

_____

If the denominator has any other factor (other than 2 or 5), the decimal representation will repeat. The length of the repeat may be up to n-1 digits, where n is the factor of the denominator that remains after powers of 2 and 5 have been removed. For example, the decimal representation of 1/7 has a 6-digit repeat; 1/19 has an 18-digit repeating decimal representation.

The problem says that the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) represents the area of the floor of the building in square meters. Therefore, to solve this problem you have to follow the proccedure shown below.

1. First, to simplify the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) you must apply the distributive property. Then, you obtain:

15x²-3x+25x-5

2. Then, you have:

15x²+22x-5

3. As you can see, the correct answer is the last option: 15x²+22x-5
