Math Problem Statement

Give me the correct answer

Give me the correct answer.

Solution

Here are the correct matches for the given numbers:

  1. 37\frac{3}{7}: The result is a decimal value that repeats.
    Explanation: When you divide 3 by 7, you get 0.4285710.\overline{428571}, which is a repeating decimal.

  2. 7\sqrt{7}: The result is a decimal value that neither repeats nor terminates.
    Explanation: The square root of 7 is an irrational number (approximately 2.645751...2.645751...), so it does not repeat or terminate.

  3. 98\frac{9}{8}: The result is a decimal value that terminates.
    Explanation: When you divide 9 by 8, you get 1.1251.125, which is a terminating decimal.

  4. 305\frac{30}{5}: The result is a whole number with no decimal.
    Explanation: When you divide 30 by 5, you get 66, which is a whole number.

Let me know if you need further clarification or assistance!

Here are 5 follow-up questions to deepen understanding:

  1. What are the characteristics of a repeating decimal?
  2. How can you determine if a fraction results in a terminating decimal?
  3. Why is 7\sqrt{7} classified as an irrational number?
  4. Can all square roots be either rational or irrational? Provide examples.
  5. How does the denominator of a fraction affect whether the result is terminating or repeating?

Tip: Fractions with denominators containing only the prime factors 2 or 5 (when simplified) produce terminating decimals.
