Math Problem Statement

Solution

Let's convert each fraction to a decimal and determine whether it is a repeating or terminating decimal:

  1. 13=0.3\frac{1}{3} = 0.\overline{3} (Repeating)
  2. 25=0.4\frac{2}{5} = 0.4 (Terminating)
  3. 512=0.41666\frac{5}{12} = 0.41666\ldots (Repeating)
  4. 610=0.6\frac{6}{10} = 0.6 (Terminating)
  5. 79=0.7\frac{7}{9} = 0.\overline{7} (Repeating)
  6. 315=0.2\frac{3}{15} = 0.2 (Terminating)

Based on these conversions:

Repeating:

  • 13\frac{1}{3}
  • 512\frac{5}{12}
  • 79\frac{7}{9}

Terminating:

  • 25\frac{2}{5}
  • 610\frac{6}{10}
  • 315\frac{3}{15}

Would you like any more details or have any questions about these conversions?

Here are 5 questions you might want to ask next:

  1. How do you identify if a fraction will have a repeating or terminating decimal?
  2. Can you explain why some fractions have repeating decimals?
  3. How can I convert other fractions to decimals?
  4. What are some examples of fractions with terminating decimals?
  5. Can you provide a method for determining if a fraction will terminate or repeat?

Tip: When converting a fraction to a decimal, if the denominator (after simplifying) has only the prime factors 2 or 5, it will be a terminating decimal. Otherwise, it will be repeating.
