4) Decimal expansion of __________ is non terminating recurring a) 4/5 b) 9/16 c) 5/11 d) 17/125 (/ means upon)
Answers
Answer:
17/125
Step-by-step explanation:
17/125 because I think so this is non terminating recurring...
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:We know that the divisor of the forms 2"5" always forma terminating decimal number. Let us simplify the expressions and find if the expansion have a terminating decimal expansion.
Option A:
77 / 210
= 7 x 11 / 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
=11 / 2 x 3 x 5
Since there is a factor of 3 in the denominator, the decimal expansion will not be terminating.
Option B:
23 / 30
=23 / 2 x 3 x 5
Since, the denominator contains a power of 3, it is non-terminating.
Option C:
125 / 441
=5 x 5 x 5 / 3 x 3 x 7 x 7
This is also non-terminating.
Option D:
23/8
=23/ 2 x 2 x 2
This contains power of 2 in the denominator. Hence, the decimal expansion is terminating.
hope it helps you!!
