Answer:
Any rational number (that is, a fraction in lowest terms) can be written as either a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal . Just divide the numerator by the denominator . If you end up with a remainder of 0 , then you have a terminating decimal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the fraction 7/12
to a decimal.
7/12=0.583¯
This is a repeating decimal.
The bar over the number, in this case 3, indicates the number or block of numbers that repeat unendingly.
