how do you write 7/9 in a decimal and does the decimal terminate or repeat

Sagot :

0.68 and it terminates

7/9=0.777777...

So therefore the decimal actually recurs.
You can tell if a decimal recurs:
If the denominator can be factorised into 2s and 5s, then it will terminate e.g. 1/20=1/5*2*2 so it terminates.
If you can't factorise it with 2s and 5s the decimal will recur e.g. 7/9=7/1*9 so it recurs.
