A number has decimal expansion (0.125000\ldots). Which statement is correct about it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is rational and terminating
Step 1: In (0.125000\ldots), only zeros occur after a point. Step 2: So it is a terminating decimal and equals (\frac{125}{1000}=\frac{1}{8}), which is rational. Step 3: Trailing zeros do not make a decimal non-terminating.
