Which of the following numbers can be expressed as decimals that terminate? 5 over 2, 4 over 5, 2 over 7, 4 over 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vocaloid are you available to help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay first write them as fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will guide you through this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After you get them as fractions divide the bottom numbers into the top number eg 5 divided by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then tell me what you get and I will correct you if you're wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 divide by 2 = 2.5

So 5 over 2 is a terminating decimal, now just do that for the rest and see if they end or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):
