Answer:
It is a terminating fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
Rule :-
if the denominator of the fraction when it is in standard form has prime factors 2 or 5 or both it is is a terminating fraction.
If it has any prime factor(s) other than 2 or 5 it will be non terminating fraction.
Let's verify
252÷250 = 252/250 = 126/125 (in standard form)
denominator of the fraction = 125
prime factors of 125 = 5×5×5
it has only 5 as a factor and it check rule 1
therefore it is a terminating fraction
for check
252/250 = 1.008
hence, verified
