Solution

(i) 1123×3

We know either 2 or 3 is not a factor of 11, so it is in its simplest form.

Moreover, (23×3)(2m×5n)

Hence, the given rational is non-terminating repeating decimal.

(ii) We know 2, 3 or 5 is not a factor of 73, so it is in its simplest form.

Moreover, (22×33×5)(2m×5n)

Hence, the given rational is non-terminating repeating decimal.
