01 Which statement is correct about the decimal expansion of (\frac{63}{245})?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. It is non-terminating recurring because the reduced denominator still has (7) with (5)
Explanation: Step 1: (\frac{63}{245}) simplifies by (7) to (\frac{9}{35}). Step 2: Since (35=5\times7), factor (7) remains and the decimal will not terminate. Step 3: Exam tip: Having (5) in the denominator is not enough; only (2) and (5) should remain.
