Answer:
Question A:
1. 1/2 = 0.5 (Terminating)
2. 5/6 = 0.833333.. (Repeating)
3. 21/3 = 1.6666666.. (Repeating)
Question B:
1. 0.6 = 3/5
2. 1.25 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
3. 0.125 = 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Write the fraction or mixed number as a terminating or repeating decimal.
In order to convert a fraction into decimal, the numerator has to be divided by denominator.
1. 1/2
The answer is: 0.5 which is a terminating decimal.
2. 5/6
The answer is: 0.833333.. which is a repeating decimal.
3. 2 1/3 (assuming the question is this)
[tex]2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{6} = 1.6666666..[/tex]
The answer is 1.6666666.. which is a repeating decimal.
B. Write the terminating decimal as fraction or mixed number i
n simplest form.
1. 0.6
[tex]0.6 = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
2. 1.25
[tex]1.25 = \frac{125}{100} = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
3. 0.125
[tex]0.125 = \frac{125}{1000} = \frac{5}{40} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Hence,
Question A:
1. 1/2 = 0.5 (Terminating)
2. 5/6 = 0.833333.. (Repeating)
3. 21/3 = 1.6666666.. (Repeating)
Question B:
1. 0.6 = 3/5
2. 1.25 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
3. 0.125 = 1/8
