Question

Jayne uses long division to convert a rational number a/b
to a decimal. Which of the following statements cannot be true?

Answer 1

The following statement cannot be true:

"Jayne uses long division to convert a rational number a/b to a decimal, and the decimal representation is an integer."

In long division, when converting a rational number to a decimal, the division process may continue indefinitely with repeating decimals if the rational number is not a terminating decimal. Therefore, the decimal representation will not be an integer.
