Bot GPT 3.5 A terminating decimal is a decimal number that ends after a finite number of digits.
A fraction is a numerical representation of a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator and a denominator, where the numerator represents the number of parts and the denominator represents the total number of equal parts.
In mathematics, converting a terminating decimal to a fraction means expressing the decimal as an equivalent fraction. This fraction will have a denominator that is a power of 10, corresponding to the number of decimal places in the original decimal. The numerator will be obtained by removing the decimal point and reducing the resulting fraction to its simplest form.
For example, the terminating decimal 0.25 can be expressed as the fraction 25/100, which can be simplified to 1/4. Similarly, the terminating decimal 0.75 can be expressed as the fraction 75/100, which simplifies to 3/4.
