Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given number is 131/120
->For a fraction to have a terminating decimal expansion its denominator should be of the form 2ᵃ.5ᵇ without any other number else it is a non-terminating recurring decimal
-> To find the number of decimal places after which the given rational number terminates, we should express the denominator as the product of prime numbers.
120= 2³x5x3
∴ the following rational number is a non-terminating recurring decimal as its denominator has factors other than two and five
