Answer 2

Answer: c.) 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

• We need to understand the concept of terminating and non-terminating decimal.
• If the decimal stops or the division gets completed and no further number will  come then it is known as terminating decimal.
• But if the number after decimal does not stop then it is known as non-terminating decimal.
• Here, the fractions are:

    $\frac{1}{3}=0.3333333...\ ,\frac{1}{7}=0.142857.....\ ,\frac{3}{5}=0.6\ , \frac{17}{3}=5.6666666...$

We can see here that only $\frac{3}{5}$ has a terminating decimal.

• Hence, the required answer is option c.
