\large \frac{3}{8} is a decimal.

\large \frac{5}{6} is a decimal.

\large \frac{7}{25}is a decimal.

Answer 1

3/8= 0.375
5/6= 0.833333...
7/25=0.28

Answer 2

3/8 = 0.375 is a terminating decimal since it stops (ie doesn't go on forever)

5/6 = 0.8333333.... is a repeating decimal. The '3's go on forever.

7/25 = 0.28 is a terminating decimal
