Learning Task 1. Classify each number as a rational number and an irra-
tional number. Write R for rational number and IR for irrational number
in your notebook.
1. -6
2. V7
3. 6.48
4. I
5.3/9
D
The word “terminate” means "end" or "stop". A decimal that end is a
terminating decimal.
A terminating decimal have a finite number of digits or numbers
which come to an end after the decimal point. It is any rational number.
When you divide the numerator by the denominator and you end up
with a remainder of o, then you have a terminating decimal.
A repeating or nonterminating decimals have an infinite number
of digits. It is a decimal number that continues endlessly, with no group
of digits repeated.
When you divide the numerator by the denominator with the
remainder that begin to repeat after some point, then you have a
repeating or nonterminating decimal. It can be converted into fraction.
Learning Task 2. Solve and identify if the decimal quotient is a terminat-
ing or repeating/nonterminating decimal. Write your answer in your note-
book.
1. 3 + 20
2. 9 + 40
3. 2 - 11
4. 6 + 13
5. 5 + 16​
