Solution

(i) We know 7 is not a factor of 29, so it is in its simplest form.

Moreover, $7^{3} \neq (2^{m} \times 5^{n})$

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

(ii) $\frac{64}{455} = \frac{64}{5 \times 7 \times 13}$

We know 5, 7 or 13 is not a factor of 64, so it is in its simplest form.

Moreover, ( $5 \times 7 \times 13) \neq (2^{m} \times 5^{n})$

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