Why will the decimal expansion of (\frac{65}{104}) terminate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it equals (\frac{5}{8})
Step 1: (\frac{65}{104}=\frac{5}{8}). Step 2: The reduced denominator is (8=2^3), so the decimal terminates. Step 3: Only the denominator left after cancellation decides the result.
