Homework Help: Math

Please match each number with its best example. Some values will need to be changed into a decimal format.

A. Recurring Decimal
B. Mixed Number
C. Non-repeating Decimal
D. Finite Decimal
E. Decimal

Examples:
½
5½
π
0.375
⅓

I think 5½ is B and ⅓ is A, but I am confused about the rest! Could someone please help?

π is a non-repeating decimal

.375 is a finite decimal

Your other choices are correct

So ½ would just be a decimal?

1/2
= .5
is a decimal, but also more specifically, a finite decimal
