Question

show that 23/2³x 5² number is terminating decimal and express it in decimal form.​

Answer 1

Clearly either 2 or 5 is not factor of 23, so given fraction is in its simplest form.

Also, the given fraction already in the form of (2m ×5n)

Hence, the given rational is a terminating decimal.

We can written it as:

23/2^3× 5^2 = 23/200=0.115, which is the decimal form.
