After reducing (\frac{12}{30}), what will be its decimal expansion type?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Terminating
Step 1: (\frac{12}{30}=\frac{2}{5}). Step 2: The reduced denominator is (5), so the decimal terminates. Step 3: Do not call it recurring just because the original denominator (30) contains (3).
