Which fraction will have a decimal expansion terminating exactly after (5) places?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{3}{6250})
Step 1: (6250=2\cdot 5^5). Step 2: (\frac{3}{6250}) is in lowest form and the larger exponent is (5), so it terminates exactly after (5) places. The other denominators have larger exponent (4) or (3). Step 3: For exact places, match the larger exponent.
