Terminating vs. Repeating Some rational number, such as 1/2, 3/8, and 2/5 have a finite
decimal (terminating decimal); while others, such as 1/3, have
infinite decimal representation (repeating decimal).
For which positive whole numbers, n, is the decimal
representation of 1/n finite? For which is it infinite? Describe
the pattern, if there is one.

If the positive whole number is a multiple of 3, one divided by that number will always be a non-terminating decimal.

step-by-step explanation:

$11.01

$16

$15

$4

hope this

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
