Is 1/3 a terminating decimal

1 answer:

3 0

A terminating decimal is a decimal that STOPS, meaning it doesn't go on forever.

So, we will divide and see.

1 ÷ 3 = <span>0.3333333............

So NO this is NOT a terminating decimal, but a repeating decimal.

Hope i helped ya!!!!!! </span>

Hello! remember you have to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here I'll explain this in a general way assuming the following table:

$\begin{array}{cc}x & y\\0 & 0\\1 & 2\\2 & 4\\3 & 6\\4 & 8\\5 & 10\end{array}$

As you can see, x increases in steps of 1 units. So let's check the difference in y:

$\bullet \ \text{From x=0 to x=1} \\ \\ \Delta y=2-0=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=1 to x=2} \\ \\ \Delta y=4-2=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=2 to x=3} \\ \\ \Delta y=6-4=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=3 to x=4} \\ \\ \Delta y=8-6=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=4 to x=5} \\ \\ \Delta y=10-8=2$

So we have a constant difference and we can conclude the table represents a line. Since the line passes through then y is directly proportional to x, so we can write:

$y=kx \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ k \ is \ constant \ of \ proportionality \ or \ the \ slope$
