Asked by Cookie Crumbs

Two fractions are given. For each one, write its decimal equivalent and determine if the decimal is terminating or non-terminating.
a. 9/20
b. 4/15
I really have no idea how to do this. Please help! I'm not asking for the answer, just how to get it.
Answered by oobleck
just do the long division
9/20 means 9 divided by 20
Think back, back, to the fourth grade, when they introduced decimals, and just do the math.

Or, google long division with decimals for many examples and videos.

Oh okay. I think I get it. I googled terminating and non-termanating decimals and it's basically if numbers go on after the decimal. Thank you!
Answered by Cookie Crumbs
Am I right? 9/20 is a terminating number and 4/15 isn't?
