Rima says that the decimal expansion of \(\frac{13}{30}\) will terminate because 30 has both 2 and 5 as factors. What is the error in Rima’s statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Since 30 has 3 as a factor along with 2 and 5, the decimal expansion will be non-terminating recurring.

Since 13 and 30 are coprime, 30 is the denominator in lowest form. As \(30=2\times3\times5\) contains 3, the decimal is non-terminating recurring. Exam tip: check prime factors of the reduced denominator.
