Answer 1

Here are the correct descriptions for each number:

1. **8/9**:
- **Response area**: rational
- **Response area** decimal: repeating (because 8/9 = 0.888...)

2. **49** (the square root of 49 is 7):
- **Response area**: rational
- **Response area** decimal: terminating (because 7 is a whole number)

3. **-0.071625**:
- **Response area**: rational
- **Response area** decimal: terminating (it has a finite number of decimal places)

4. **1/4**:
- **Response area**: rational
- **Response area** decimal: terminating (because 1/4 = 0.25)

5. **-0.030303**:
- **Response area**: rational
- **Response area** decimal: repeating (because it's -0.030303... which can be written as -0.03 repeating)

So the complete descriptions would be:

1. 8/9 is rational and a repeating decimal.
2. 49 (square root of 49) is rational and a terminating decimal.
3. -0.071625 is rational and a terminating decimal.
4. 1/4 is rational and a terminating decimal.
5. -0.030303 is rational and a repeating decimal.
