Answer 1

I agree with Beth

Explanation:

If we take the ratio of the number of players

in any sport to the number of players on a lacrosse team, then the denominator is going to be 10.

Any fraction with the denominator being a factor of 2 or its powers , and/or 5 with its powers is a terminating decimal.

Since the denominator is 10=2*5, we conclude that Beth's proposition is true.

Therefore Beth is right.
