, Terminating
Step-by-step explanation:
Mackenzie has 32 books and 12 of which are by her favorite author.
One of the easier ways to convert something to a decimal is to first start as a fraction. We need to have it be the number of books by her favorite author (12) out of the total number of books that she owns (32)
This in the form of a fraction would be
Now, let us reduce this fraction.
Both terms can be divided by 4
Recall that
This means that
As you can see. this decimal stops after 3 places, which means that it is terminating.

Ok, so based on a survey - you know that out of 30 students, 11 said that their favourite subject is mathematics. :-)
This means that:
11/30 of these students think mathematics if their favourite subject.
Now, in order to answer your question, we are going to have to change the denominator of the fraction above to 1000. Whatever we do to the denominator of this fraction, we must do to the numerator of this fraction.
Example:
This means that rounded to the nearest ten, theoretically speaking, 370 students out of 1000 would say that mathematics is their favourite subject.
