Write the given rational number in decimal form. 5 12

To convert a rational number to decimal form, we divide the numerator by the denominator. Given number, 5 12 Numerator = 5 Denominator = 12 ∴ 5 12 = 0 . 41666666 . . . We observe that the quotient has a repeating digit. This digit is represented by a bar at it's top. 5 12 = 0 . 41 6 ¯ And such decimals are known as repeating and recurring decimals.

Write the given rational number in decimal form. 22 7

To convert a rational number to decimal form, we divide the numerator by the denominator. Given number, 22 7 Numerator = 22 Denominator = 7 ∴ 22 7 = 3 . 142857 . . . We observe that the quotient is not repeating and not terminating at any point. Such decimals are called non-terminating non-repeating decimals.

Write the given rational number in decimal form. 4 3

To convert a rational number to decimal form, we divide the numerator by the denominator. Given number, 4 3 Numerator = 4 Denominator = 3 ∴ 4 3 = 1 . 333333 . . . We observe that the quotient has a repeating digit. This digit is represented by a bar at it's top. 4 3 = 1 . 3 ¯ And such decimals are known as repeating and non-terminating decimals.
