The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given rational numbers have a terminating decimal representation, we need to analyze the denominators of each fraction after simplifying them. A rational number has a terminating decimal representation if the denominator (after simplification) can be expressed in the form of \(2^m \times 5^n\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are non-negative integers. Let's analyze each of the given fractions step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze the first fraction \( \frac{5}{32} \) 1. **Factor the denominator**: - The denominator is \(32\). - We can express \(32\) as \(2^5\). 2. **Check the form**: - Since \(32 = 2^5\), it can be expressed in the form \(2^m\) (where \(m = 5\)) and \(5^n\) (where \(n = 0\)). - Thus, the denominator is in the form \(2^m \times 5^n\). 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, \( \frac{5}{32} \) has a terminating decimal representation. ### Step 2: Analyze the second fraction \( \frac{3}{320} \) 1. **Factor the denominator**: - The denominator is \(320\). - We can express \(320\) as \(2^6 \times 5^1\). 2. **Check the form**: - Since \(320 = 2^6 \times 5^1\), it is also in the form \(2^m \times 5^n\) (where \(m = 6\) and \(n = 1\)). 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, \( \frac{3}{320} \) has a terminating decimal representation. ### Step 3: Analyze the third fraction \( \frac{7}{24} \) 1. **Factor the denominator**: - The denominator is \(24\). - We can express \(24\) as \(2^3 \times 3^1\). 2. **Check the form**: - The denominator \(24\) contains a factor of \(3\), which means it cannot be expressed solely in the form \(2^m \times 5^n\). 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, \( \frac{7}{24} \) does not have a terminating decimal representation. ### Final Summary - **Terminating decimals**: - \( \frac{5}{32} \) (terminating) - \( \frac{3}{320} \) (terminating) - **Non-terminating decimal**: - \( \frac{7}{24} \) (non-terminating)
