All fractions represent a repeating decimal, but those in lowest terms with only powers of 2 and 5 in the denominator repeat with zeros. (terminating decimals)
So, reduce them all and see which ones have something besides 2 and 5 in the bottom.
For example, 11/88 = 1/8 = 1/2^3 so it terminates -- 0.125
Or, heck, just do the division on your calculator. geez.
