Question

Which of the following fractions can be represented by a terminating decimal? A.8/5 B.8/3 C.1/11 D.4/9

Answer 1

D. 4/9 this is it possible

Answer 2

Option A.

Explanation:

If a fraction p/q is in the simplified form, then it can be represented by terminating or non-terminating decimal.

If the denominator is 2, 5 or multiple of either 2 or 5, or both, then the fraction can represented by terminating decimal. Otherwise, the fraction can represented by non-terminating decimal.

Only in option A, the denominator is 5. So, only 8/5 an be represented by a terminating decimal.

`(8)/(5)=1.6`

`(8)/(3)=2.666...`

`(1)/(11)=0.0909...`

`(4)/(9)=0.444...`

Only 8/5 is terminating.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
