what is the decimal form of 100/3 100/5 and 100/6? determine whether each repeats or terminates
to know the decimal form, just make the division
Step 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{100}{3} \\ \frac{100}{3}=100\text{ divide by 3} \\ \text{operate} \\ 100\text{ divide by 3 = 33 and 1 to left} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]every time you divide you will have a residual number (1),
so
100=(33*3)+1
when you divide the 1 by 3, you will have
1=(3*0.3)+0.1
and
10=3*3 +1
,so the 3 will repeat forever
Step 2
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{100}{5}=20 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]so the decimal form of 100/5 is 20
Step 3
[tex]\frac{100}{6}[/tex][tex]\frac{100}{6}=16.66[/tex]when you divide 100 by 6 you have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 100=(16\cdot6)+4 \\ 100=96+4 \\ 16\text{.} \\ \text{and} \\ \frac{4}{6}=0.666 \\ so\text{ , the answer is } \\ \frac{4}{6}+16=16.6666 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]I hope it helps you.
