Why 17/25 is a Terminating Decimal Expansion

  • Both of the ending decimals are rational numbers that may be expressed as reduced fractions with denominators that only contain the numbers two or five as prime number variables.
  • 17/25 = 0.68
  • 1/6 = 0.16666666666
  • 10/3 = 3.3333333333
  • 1/11 = 0.0909090909
  • Option (2)’s two digits following the decimal point indicate that this fraction has a finite number, as opposed to other options’ infinite numbers.
