Question

write 36/100 in decimal form and say what kind of decimal expansion each has?

Answer 1

36/ 100 = 0.36
this will have a terminating non repeating expansion

Answer 2

Given: A fraction $\frac{36}{100}$

To find: Decimal form and type of decimal expansion of given fraction

Solution:

The given fraction is $\frac{36}{100}$

To get the decimal form, we need to divide the numerator (36) by the denominator (100).

∵ 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36

So, the decimal form is 0.36

Now, since the digits after the decimal point are finite in 0.36, the given number has terminating decimal expansion.

(In terminating decimal expansion, number of digits after the decimal point are finite.)

Hence, the decimal form is 0.36 and the fraction has terminating decimal expansion.
