i. ii.


iii. iv.


v. vi.


vii. viii.

(i) Denominator is 23 × 3 which is not in the form 2n × 5m

the fraction will not be a terminating decimal.

the fraction will not be a terminating decimal.


(iv) Denominator is 35 = 5 × 7 which is not in the form 2n × 5m


the fraction will not be a terminating decimal.


(v) Denominator is 210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 which is not in the form 2n × 5m


the fraction will not be a terminating decimal.


(vi) Denominator is 147 = 3 × 7 × 7 which is not in the form 2n × 5m


the fraction will not be a terminating decimal.


(vii) Denominator is 343 = 7 × 7 × 7 which is not in the form 2n × 5m


the fraction will not be a terminating decimal.
