Answer
View full question & answer→The given number is $\frac{13}{125}.$
$\frac{13}{125} = \frac{13}{5^{3}} = \frac{13}{5^{3} \times 2^0}$
$= \frac{13\times 2^{3}}{5^{3}\times 2^{3}} = \frac{13\times 8}{(10)^3} = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104$
Thus, the decimal expansion of $\frac{13}{125}$ is 0.014.
$\frac{13}{125} = \frac{13}{5^{3}} = \frac{13}{5^{3} \times 2^0}$
$= \frac{13\times 2^{3}}{5^{3}\times 2^{3}} = \frac{13\times 8}{(10)^3} = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104$
Thus, the decimal expansion of $\frac{13}{125}$ is 0.014.
