A. 7/14
B. 3/12
C. 10/16

Thank you to anybody that helps me :)
Divide all of your fractions.
7 divided by 14.
3 divided by 12.
10 divided by 16.
5 divided by 15.
See what is a repeating number.
No problem! In the future to avoid something like that from happening again, maybe don't sound so demanding and try to be a bit more polite. Also, you need to realize that we won't supply you with every answer to every lesson and test. Thank you for being reasonable though. ^^
Ok thank you cardinary. :)
Welcome;)
To determine which of the given fractions is repeating, we need to examine the denominators. A fraction is repeating if its denominator is not divisible by any prime numbers other than 2 or 5.
Let's check each option:
A. 7/14: The denominator is 14, which is divisible by 2 and 7. It is not a repeating fraction.
B. 3/12: The denominator is 12, which is divisible by 2 and 3. It is not a repeating fraction.
C. 10/16: The denominator is 16, which is divisible by 2 and 8. It is not a repeating fraction.
D. 5/15: The denominator is 15, which is divisible by 3 and 5. It is a repeating fraction since 3 is the only prime factor other than 2 or 5.
Therefore, the fraction that is also repeating is D. 5/15.
