Question

Is 2 1/2 a terminating yes or no

Answer 1

Yes, it's terminating

Explanation:

This comes down to: "When you put it in your calculator does the answer fill the whole screen, or does it stop after a few digits?"

So a decimal like 0.5 is terminating.

0.6666666666666666666666666 is repeating.

2 & 1/2 is the same as 2.5, so it's terminating.

I hope the discussion helped, rather than just tell you the answer.

Take care.
