Question

without actually performing the long divison state whether the rational numbers 35/50 will have terminating or non-terminating decimal expansion

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It will have terminating decimal expansion as 50 can be expressed as product of 2's and 5's.

(50=2×5×5)

Answer 2

remove the lcm of denominator.

if it has 2 *5 in its factor it is non terminating. but if it doesn't have 2*5 it is terminating.

50=2*5 (5 square)

therefore , it is non terminating.
