The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given fractions are non-terminating repeating decimals, we need to analyze the denominators of each fraction. A fraction in its simplest form will have a terminating decimal if its denominator (after removing all common factors with the numerator) can be expressed in the form \(2^m \times 5^n\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are non-negative integers. If it cannot be expressed in this form, the decimal will be non-terminating repeating. Let's analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze the first fraction \(\frac{125}{441}\) 1. **Factor the denominator**: - \(441 = 21^2 = (3 \times 7)^2 = 3^2 \times 7^2\) 2. **Check the form of the denominator**: - The denominator \(441\) contains the prime factors \(3\) and \(7\), which are not \(2\) or \(5\). 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the denominator cannot be expressed as \(2^m \times 5^n\), the decimal representation of \(\frac{125}{441}\) is a non-terminating repeating decimal. ### Step 2: Analyze the second fraction \(\frac{129}{2^2 \times 5^7 \times 17^7}\) 1. **Factor the denominator**: - The denominator is already factored as \(2^2 \times 5^7 \times 17^7\). 2. **Check the form of the denominator**: - The presence of \(17^7\) means that the denominator contains a prime factor other than \(2\) or \(5\). 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the denominator cannot be expressed as \(2^m \times 5^n\), the decimal representation of \(\frac{129}{2^2 \times 5^7 \times 17^7}\) is a non-terminating repeating decimal. ### Step 3: Analyze the third fraction \(\frac{29}{343}\) 1. **Factor the denominator**: - \(343 = 7^3\) 2. **Check the form of the denominator**: - The denominator \(343\) contains the prime factor \(7\), which is not \(2\) or \(5\). 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the denominator cannot be expressed as \(2^m \times 5^n\), the decimal representation of \(\frac{29}{343}\) is a non-terminating repeating decimal. ### Final Conclusion: All three fractions \(\frac{125}{441}\), \(\frac{129}{2^2 \times 5^7 \times 17^7}\), and \(\frac{29}{343}\) are non-terminating repeating decimals. ### Answer: All options (i), (ii), and (iii) are non-terminating repeating decimals. ---
