Question

if 1/2+2/3+3/4+4/5 is written as decimals will it be a terminating or non terminating ​

Answer 1

Answer:

It will be non-terminating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break it and solve the whole sum for a clear view,

(i) 1/2+2/3 (L.C.M=6)

=3/6+4/6

=7/6

(ii) 3/4+4/5 (L.C.M=20)

   =15/20+16/20

   =31/20

Now let's add (i) & (ii),

7/6+31/20 (L.C.M=60)

=70/60 + 93/60

=163/60

So, now it is clear that it will be non-terminating as the numerator is bigger than the denominator.

I hope you understood.
