Question

Classify the decimal expansion of each fraction as a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.

Answer 1

56/72 = repeating decimal
12/30 = terminating decimal
15/40 = terminating decimal
12/37 = repeating decimal

Answer 2

Answer:

56/72   Repeating decimal

12/30    Terminating decimal

15/40     Terminating decimal

12/37      Repeating decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to classify the decimal expansion of each fraction as a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.

56/72 =0.77777...

Hence, it is a  repeating decimal

12/30 = 0.4

Hence, it is a terminating decimal

15/40 =0.375

Hence, it is a terminating decimal

12/37 =0.324324324...

Hence, it is a  repeating decimal
