Question

Callie has completed 5/12 of a project for her English class. Express this value as a decimal. Then, state if the decimal is terminating or repeating.

Answer 1

0.42 it is terminating because it goes 66666 but then changes to a 7 at the end

Step-by-step explanation:

5/12 is just like a division problem. You divide 5 by 12 to get 0.416666667 which is the full answer and you take the first two numbers after the decimal to be your answer. But if there is a 5 or higher after the second number you can round it to its nearest tenth.
