write each number as a terminating or repeating decimal.
3/16
2/9
15/12
4/11
Divide them each out. I'll do the first one for you. 3/16=5 1/3=5.33 (line over the 3, it's repeating)
Do you not have access to a calculator?
Then type in the fraction into the Google search window
(just don't hit the "I feel lucky" button, lol)
Jen, when I went to school
3/16 was .1875
Didn't know they changed it.
I was thinking of it as 16/3. No need to get smart with me, Reiny.
which fraction converts to a terminating decimal: 5/6, 1/3, 4/7, 3/16
To determine whether a fraction can be expressed as a terminating or repeating decimal, we need to divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number).
1) 3/16:
Divide 3 by 16:
3 ÷ 16 = 0.1875
The division result is a non-repeating decimal. Therefore, 3/16 is a terminating decimal.
2) 2/9:
Divide 2 by 9:
2 ÷ 9 = 0.2222...
The decimal representation of 2/9 has a repeating decimal with a pattern of '2'. Therefore, 2/9 is a repeating decimal.
3) 15/12:
Divide 15 by 12:
15 ÷ 12 = 1.25
The division result is a non-repeating decimal. Therefore, 15/12 is a terminating decimal.
4) 4/11:
Divide 4 by 11:
4 ÷ 11 ≈ 0.3636...
The decimal representation of 4/11 has a repeating decimal with a pattern of '36'. Therefore, 4/11 is a repeating decimal.
