Question

why the fraction 16/125 will be a terminating decimal express in your own words

Answer 1

Hey mate...... here's your answer.....

For terminating decimal the prime factorisation of the denominator should only contain the factors 2 or 5 or both 2 and 5.

16/125 is a terminating decimal since the prime factorisation of 125 contains the factors only 5. i.e 5 x 5 x 5= 125.

Hope it helps********
