What type of decimal expansion will (\frac{121}{500}) have, and within how many places will it terminate at most?

Correct answer: Terminating, three places
Step 1: (500=2^2\times5^3). Step 2: It has only (2) and (5), so the decimal terminates, and the larger exponent is (3). Step 3: When both type and places are asked, check both.
