Question

Predict whether or not the decimal equivalent to 17/36 is terminating

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not terminating because 36 is a multiple of 3. Any number that is a multiple of three is repeating!

Answer 2

Answer:

Non-Terminating

Step-by-step explanation:

In 17/36,

36 = 2² × 3²

We know that a rational number has terminating decimal expansion, if and only if its denominator has factors 2 and/or 5 only.

Here Denominator has 3 as its factors ∴ It will have non-terminating decimal expansion.
