Understanding Decimal Numbers

What is a terminating decimal?

• A decimal that repeats indefinitely

• A decimal with a finite number of digits

• A decimal that never repeats

• A decimal with an infinite number of digits

Which of the following is an example of a non-terminating repeating decimal?

• 1.414213...

• 0.333...

• 3.14159...

• 0.125

What type of decimal is represented by the square root of 2?

• Terminating

• Rational

• Non-terminating repeating

• Non-terminating non-repeating

How can you determine if a fraction will result in a terminating decimal?

• By checking if the numerator is even

• By resolving the denominator into prime factors of only 2 and 5

• By ensuring the fraction is improper

• By converting the fraction to a percentage

If a fraction's denominator has prime factors of 2 and 5, what does this indicate?

• The decimal will be non-terminating

• The fraction is improper

• The fraction is irrational

• The decimal will be terminating
