Why will the decimal expansion of (\frac{9}{28}) not terminate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because the denominator also contains (7)
Step 1: (28=2^2\times7). Step 2: The reduced denominator contains (7), which is not (2) or (5). Step 3: If another prime factor remains, the decimal is non-terminating recurring.
