Question

what are the type of decimals that are considered rational?
a repeating
b non - repeating
c terminating
d non - terminating

Explanation:

Rational numbers as decimals can be either terminating (e.g., \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)) or repeating (e.g., \( \frac{1}{3}=0.\overline{3} \)). Non - repeating decimals are irrational (like \( \pi\approx3.1415926\cdots \)). So the rational decimals are terminating (C) and repeating (A) because terminating decimals can be expressed as fractions (e.g., \( 0.5=\frac{1}{2} \)) and repeating decimals can also be expressed as fractions (e.g., \( 0.\overline{3}=\frac{1}{3} \)).

Answer:

A. Repeating, C. Terminating
