Question

Can 0.28 be written as a fraction? Is it a terminating decimal, a repeating decimal ,or a decimal that neither terminated nor repeats

Answer 1

Yes, 0.28 can be written as a fraction.

To convert a decimal to a fraction, we can count the number of decimal places and put the decimal part over the appropriate power of 10. In this case, there are two decimal places after the 8, so we put 28 over 100.

Therefore, 0.28 can be written as the fraction 28/100, which can be simplified to 7/25.

Regarding whether it is a terminating decimal, a repeating decimal, or a decimal that neither terminates nor repeats, 0.28 is a terminating decimal since it ends after two decimal places.
