Question

The ruler is marked at every 1/16 inch. Do the labeled measurements convert to repeating or a terminating decimals?

Answer 1

the anwser to your question would be a terminating and not repeating decimal

Answer 2

Answer:

The labeled measurements are terminating decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any denominator that has prime factors of 2 and 5 only will always be a terminating decimal.

As 16 is a power of 2, it will be terminating.

All the labels too are terminating as all have factors of 2.

$\frac{1}{16}$ itself is 0.0625

Similarly $\frac{3}{16}$ is 0.1875.

$\frac{1}{2}$ is 0.5.

$\frac{7}{8}$ is  0.875

and $1\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{5}{4}$ is 1.25.
