Question 2.
Without actual division, determine which of the following rational numbers have a terminating decimal representation and which have a non-terminating decimal representation.
(i) \(\frac{11}{4}\)
Answer:
Prime factors of 4 = 2 × 2
The denominator 7 has no prime factors 2²
∴ \(\frac{11}{4}\) represents a terminating decimal.

(ii) \(\frac{13}{80}\)
Answer:
Prime factors of 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
= 2⁴ × 5¹
Hence \(\frac{13}{80}\) represents a terminating decimal.

(iii) \(\frac{15}{11}\)
Answer:
The denominator 11 has no prime factors as 2^m × 5ⁿ
Hence \(\frac{15}{11}\) represents a non-terminating decimal.

(iv) \(\frac{22}{7}\)
Answer:
The denominator 11 has no prime factors as 2^m × 5ⁿ
Hence \(\frac{22}{7}\) represents a non-terminating decimal.

(v) \(\frac{29}{250}\)
Answer:
Prime factors of 250 = 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 2¹ × 5³
Here, the prime factors of 250 has 2 and 5 only
Hence \(\frac{29}{250}\) represents a terminating decimal.

(vi) \(\frac{37}{21}\)
Answer:
Prime factors of 21 = 3 × 7
The denominator has no prime factors as 2^m × 5ⁿ
Hence \(\frac{37}{21}\) represents a non-terminating decimal.

(vii) \(\frac{49}{14}\)
Answer:
Prime factors of denominator are in the form 2¹ × 5⁰
Hence \(\frac{49}{14}\) represents a terminating decimal

(viii) \(\frac{126}{45}\)
Answer:
Prime factors of denominator are in the form 2⁰ × 5¹
Hence \(\frac{126}{45}\) represents a terminating decimal.

Question 3.
Find the decimal representation of the following rational numbers.
(i) \(\frac{-27}{4}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{-27}{4}=\frac{-27 \times 25}{4 \times 25}\)
= \(\frac{-675}{100}\)
= -6.75

(ii) \(\frac{-37}{60}\)
Answer:
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 (not in the form of 2^m × 5ⁿ)
So it is a non-terminating decimal.
∴ We will use long division method.

Hence \(\frac{-37}{60}\) = -0.61666…..
= -0.616̄ (Non – terminating repeating decimal)

(iii) \(\frac{-18}{125}\)
Answer:
125 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 5³ × 2⁰ (Terminating decimal)
∴ \(\frac{-18 \times 8}{125 \times 8}=\frac{-144}{1000}\)
= -0.1444

(iv) \(\frac{-15}{8}\)
Answer:
8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ × 5⁰ (Terminating decimal)
= \(\frac{-15}{8}=\frac{-15 \times 125}{8 \times 125}\)
= \(\frac{-1875}{1000}\) = -1.875

Question 4.
If the number y + y non-terminating? Justify your answer.
Answer:
The denominators are 2, 3, 4, 5. They are not all in the form of 2^m × 5ⁿ.
Therefore, the given numbers is non-terminating decimal representation.

Question 5.
Justify the following statements as true or false.
(i) \(\frac{22}{7}\) can be represented as terminating decimal.
Answer:
(F) \(\frac{22}{7}\), Here prime factors of 7 are not in the form 2^m × 5ⁿ.
Hence it can not be represented as terminating decimal.

(ii) \(\frac{51}{512}\) can be represented as a terminating decimal.
Answer:
(T) \(\frac{51}{512}\), Here the prime factors of 512 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 29
It is in the form of 2^m × 5ⁿ i.e. 2⁹ × 5°
Hence it is a terminating decimal representation.

(iii) \(\frac{19}{45}\) can be represented as a non-terminating repeating decimal.
Answer:
(T), Here prime factors of 45 = 3 × 3 × 5 are not in the form of 2^m × 5ⁿ. So it can not be represented as terminating decimal.

(iv) \(\frac{3}{17}\) cannot be represented as a non-terminating repeating decimal.
Answer:
(T) Here, the denominator 4 × 5 is in the form of 2^m × 5ⁿ. So, it is a terminating decimal representation.

(v) If \(\frac{3}{2}\) and \(\frac{7}{5}\) are terminating decimals, then \(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{5}\) is also a terminating decimal.
Answer:
(T) \(\frac{3}{17}\), Here, prime factors of 17 are not in the form of 2^m × 5ⁿ. So it is a non-terminating decimal representation.

(vi) If \(\frac{1}{4}\) and \(\frac{1}{5}\) both have terminating decimal representation, then \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{5}\) also has a terminating decimal representation.
Answer:
(T) Here, denominators are 2 and 5, \(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{5}\) is also a terminating decimal.
