<h3>Answer: Yes, 3/8 is a terminating number</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

Using a calculator,

3/8 = 0.375

The decimal stops and does not go on forever. So it is terminating.

-------

One way to be able to tell that it terminates is to look at the denominator 8, which factors to 2*2*2 or 2^3. The prime factor 2 indicates that the decimal will terminate. The rule is that if the denominator is factored into 2's or 5's only, then the decimal will terminate.

Examples:

1/5 = 0.2,   4/10 = 0.4,   5/8 = 0.625

Some non-examples would be

1/3 = 0.333333...

5/6 = 0.83333....

2/7 = 0.285714...

Each denominator of these non-terminating fractions do not have solely 2's or 5's as part of the factorizations.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Perimeter = 60

Height =  18/5

Discussion:

The diagonals of a rhombus  bisect each other at right angles. So a rhombus can be viewed as the union of 4 congruent right triangles, each with legs (1/2)*18 = 9 and (1/2) *24 = 12. See attachment. This gives a hypotenuse length of 15 so the Perimeter = 4 *c = 60.

The height ( = altitude) of a rhombus is

            = area                    / length of base

            = (1/2)  ( (18) * 24) /c

            = (1/2) ( 18 * 24) / 60

            = 18/5

Thank you,

MrB
