Question

is a terminating decimal.

• A. $\frac{1}{7}$
• B. $\frac{1}{5}$
• C. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{5}$

To find out whether the given fractions are terminating decimals, we need to do division and check.
On dividing, we get

$\frac{1}{6}$$=0.1\overline{6}$, which is a recurring decimal.

$\frac{1}{7}$ $=0.\overline{142857}$, which is also a recurring decimal.

$\frac{1}{5}$$=0.2$, which is a terminating decimal.
