Question

without actual division , state whether the following rational numbers are terminating or non terminating , repeating decimals ? i will mark your answers as brainliest

(i) 16/125 (ii) 41/75

Answer 1

we first see denominators then when they are factor of 2and5 will be rational otherwise irrational
in first, 125 = 5*5*5
make pair of first two then we see that it is only factor of 5 so it is rational.

in second, 75= 5*5*3
after marking first two same pair we see that there 3 left so it is irrational.
