Question

Find whether it is a terminating or a non-terminating decimal.

$3.2÷2.24$.

• A. Terminating
• B. Non-terminating
• C. Ambiguous
• D. Data insufficient
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Non-terminating

A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends. It's a decimal with a finite number of digits.

$3.2÷2.24=\mathrm{1.428571429....}$.

The division does not gives end result.
Hence, it is a non-terminating decimal.
