The ruler is marked at every 116 inch Do the labeled measurements convert to repeating or a terminating decimals class=

Respuesta :

the anwser to your question would be a terminating and not repeating decimal

Answer:

The labeled measurements are terminating decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any denominator that has prime factors of 2 and 5 only will always be a terminating decimal.

As 16 is a power of 2, it will be terminating.

All the labels too are terminating as all have factors of 2.

[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] itself is 0.0625

Similarly [tex]\frac{3}{16}[/tex] is 0.1875.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is 0.5.

[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] is  0.875

and [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] is 1.25.
