Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Terminating And Repeating Decimals Worksheet
Let's solve each problem step by step. We will:

1. Divide the fraction to find its decimal form.
2. Determine if the decimal is terminating or repeating.
3. Choose the correct answer (a, b, or c) that matches the decimal and correctly shows whether it's repeating or terminating.

1. $\frac{5}{8}$



- $5 \div 8 = 0.625$
- This is a terminating decimal (ends after 3 digits).
- So, correct choice is: c. 0.625

Answer: c, Terminating

---

2. $\frac{12}{40}$



- Simplify first: $\frac{12}{40} = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3$
- This is a terminating decimal.
- Option a: 0.3 → correct
- Option b: $\overline{0.3}$ → implies repeating, which is wrong
- Option c: 0.33 → incorrect value

Answer: a, Terminating

---

3. $\frac{11}{12}$



- $11 \div 12 = 0.91666...$ → repeats as $0.91\overline{6}$
- So, decimal is repeating
- Let's check options:
- a. 0.916 → terminates → incorrect
- b. $0.91\overline{6}$ → correct notation
- c. $0.\overline{916}$ → suggests all digits repeat → incorrect

Answer: b, Repeating

---

4. $\frac{4}{9}$



- $4 \div 9 = 0.444... = 0.\overline{4}$
- Repeating decimal
- Options:
- a. 0.4 → terminates → wrong
- b. $0.\overline{4}$ → correct
- c. $0.44...$ → not standard notation (missing bar)

Answer: b, Repeating

---

5. $\frac{33}{100}$



- $33 \div 100 = 0.33$
- This is terminating (since denominator is power of 10)
- Option a: 0.3 → too small → wrong
- Option b: $0.\overline{3}$ → repeating → wrong
- Option c: 0.33 → correct

Answer: c, Terminating

---

6. $\frac{1}{7}$



- $1 \div 7 = 0.142857142857... = 0.\overline{142857}$
- Repeats every 6 digits
- Option a: 0.142857 → stops → wrong
- Option b: $0.142857$ → no bar → wrong
- Option c: $0.142857$ with bar over all → correct

Answer: c, Repeating

---

7. $2\frac{8}{11}$



- Convert to improper fraction: $2 + \frac{8}{11} = \frac{22}{11} + \frac{8}{11} = \frac{30}{11}$
- $30 \div 11 = 2.727272... = 2.\overline{72}$
- So, it's repeating
- Options:
- a. 0.72 → wrong value
- b. 2.72 → terminates → wrong
- c. $2.\overline{72}$ → correct

Answer: c, Repeating

---

8. $7\frac{19}{22}$



- Convert: $7 + \frac{19}{22} = \frac{154}{22} + \frac{19}{22} = \frac{173}{22}$
- $173 \div 22 = ?$

Let’s divide:

- $22 \times 7 = 154$, remainder $19$
- $19.00 \div 22 = 0.863636...$
- So total: $7 + 0.863636... = 7.863636... = 7.8\overline{63}$

Now check options:
- a. 7.863 → terminates → wrong
- b. $7.8\overline{63}$ → correct
- c. $7.86\overline{3}$ → implies only 3 repeats → wrong

Answer: b, Repeating

---

9. $\frac{15}{8}$



- $15 \div 8 = 1.875$
- Terminates
- Option a: 1.875 → correct
- Option b: $1.8\overline{75}$ → repeating → wrong
- Option c: $1.\overline{875}$ → all repeat → wrong

Answer: a, Terminating

---

10. $\frac{55}{48}$



- $55 \div 48 = ?$

Let’s divide:

- $48 \times 1 = 48$, remainder $7$
- $7.000 \div 48 = 0.1458333...$

Wait:
- $7 \div 48 = 0.1458333...$

So:
- $55/48 = 1.1458333... = 1.1458\overline{3}$

Because after 1.1458, the 3 repeats.

Check options:
- a. 1.14583 → terminates → wrong
- b. $1.1458\overline{3}$ → correct
- c. $1.14583$ → no bar → wrong

Answer: b, Repeating
