MCQ
The decimal representation of a rational number is:
- AEither terminating or non-repeating.
- BAlways non$-$terminating.
- CAlways terminating.
- ✓Either terminating or repeating.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Either terminating or repeating.
Rational numbers can be represented in decimal forms rather than representing infractions.
They can easily be represented as decimals by just dividing numerator $'p'$ by denominator $'q' \Big($as rational numbers is in the form of $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}\Big)$
A rational number can be expressed as a terminating or no terminating, recurring decimal.
For example:
$\frac{5}{2}=2.5,$
$\frac{2}{8}=0.25,$
$7 = 7.0,$ etc., are rational numbers which are terminating decimals.
$\frac{5}{9}=0.555555555.......=0.5,$
$\frac{1}{6}=0.166666.....=0.16,$
$\frac{9}{11}=0.818181$
