Question

express the following rational numbers as decimals and state which of them are terminating or non terminating repeating decimals a) 5 upon 11 b)8 upon 24​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 5/11

  factorize the denominator with the no. only 2 and 5

  11 is the denominator

 = 11 is a prime no. it can not be expressed in the form of 2 and 5

    so 5/11 is a non terminating, rational no.

b)8/24

= converting it into the simplest form  that is 1/3

   same procedure as above .

= 3 is also a prime no so

 the answer will be non terminating rational no.
