Which of the following is also a repeating decimal?
A.7/14
B.3/12
C.10/16
D.5/15
Yes, D. Now -- can you explain why?
It is 5/15! The answer is D. 5/15
To determine which of the fractions is a repeating decimal, we need to convert each of the fractions into decimal form.
Let's start with choice A, which is 7/14. To convert this fraction into decimal form, we divide 7 by 14:
7 ÷ 14 = 0.5
Since 0.5 does not have any repeating digits, choice A is not a repeating decimal.
Let's move on to choice B, which is 3/12. To convert this fraction into decimal form, we divide 3 by 12:
3 ÷ 12 = 0.25
Again, 0.25 does not have any repeating digits, so choice B is also not a repeating decimal.
Next is choice C, which is 10/16. Dividing 10 by 16 gives us:
10 ÷ 16 = 0.625
0.625 does not have any repeating digits, so choice C is not a repeating decimal either.
Finally, we have choice D, which is 5/15. Dividing 5 by 15 gives us:
5 ÷ 15 = 0.3333...
Here, we see that the digit 3 repeats indefinitely, indicating that choice D is a repeating decimal.
Therefore, the answer to the question is D. The fraction 5/15 is also a repeating decimal.
the remainder keeps repeating itself no matter how many times you , u know, do the thing
atleast I think dats it
