Allison stated that 48/90 is a terminating decimal equal to 0.53. Why is she true or why is she wrong.

Sagot :

Answer:

She was Wrong, because it is not a terminating decimal

Explanation:

Given the fraction;

[tex]\frac{48}{90}[/tex]

Let us reduce the fraction to its least form, then convert it to decimal.

[tex]\frac{48}{90}=\frac{8}{15}[/tex]

converting to decimal we have;

The decimal form of the given fraction is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.533\ldots \\ =0.53\ldots \end{gathered}[/tex]

Which is not a terminating decimal, because it has an unending, repeatitive decimal.

Therefore, she was Wrong, because it is not a terminating decimal
