To solve the problem, we need to find the smallest rational number by which \( \frac{1}{3} \) should be multiplied so that its decimal expansion terminates after one place of decimal. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Terminating Decimals**: A decimal expansion of a fraction terminates if, after simplification, the denominator has only the prime factors 2 and/or 5. Since we want the decimal to terminate after one place, we need the resulting fraction to have a denominator that is a power of 10 (i.e., \( 10^1 = 10 \)). 2. **Current Denominator**: ...
