What is the difference between 6500. and 6500? The first one would be considered to have a terminal decimal. This means that instead of simply writing the number as it is, a decimal is added to the end to represent significant figures (terminal decimals are most commonly used in scientific notation). Therefore, when 6500 would only be considered as to having 2 significant figures, 6500. has 4 significant figures.

What is a terminal decimal in math?
A terminal decimal - is one with a finite solution. For example, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125 The value of Pi as a decimal could never be a terminal decimal, as the solution goes on indefinitely.
Is 0.625 rational number?
Yes, it is. Any terminal decimal is a rational number.
Why is 0.57575757 irrational?
NO!!!! It is NOT irrational. Reason, it can be converted to a Ratio(fraction). How do I know??? You have not indicated that the decimals go to inifinity. There is a regular order in the digits. As given it is a terminal decimal 0.57575757 If it was an infinite decimal it should read 0.57575757... ( Note the dots that indicate it contiunes to infinity. As a terminal decimal its fraction is 57575757/100000000 Ugh!!!! As an infinite decimal it can be converted to a ratio(fraction) Hence Let P = 0.57575757... & 100P = 57.57575757.... Subtract 99P = 57 ( Notice the repeating decimals subtract to zero. P = 57/99 Cancel down by '3' P = 19/33 THe answer 0.575757... = 19/33 & 0.57575757 = 57575757/100000000
Is 3.25 an integer or decimal?
decimal

terminal?
What is terminal decimal for 17 over 20?
It is 0.85
What is the terminal decimal for 7 over 8?
0.875
Convert 615 to a decimal?
615 is a whole number and as such has no need to be converted to a decimal. It could be represented as 615. but it ends in a five and so the terminal decimal is meaningless.
When you divide the numerator of a fraction by the denominator you always get a decimal that ends a terminal decimal?
Not at all. The quotient of 1/3 doesn't end.
How to turn a fraction to a decimal?
, divide the numerator by the denominator. To change terminal decimals into fractions, count the number of decimal places, put the decimal's digits over 1 followed by the proper number of zeroes.
What is the terminal decimal for 78?
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the required decimal representation is 78, exactly as in the question.
Is 1.4 an irrational number or rational number?
1.4 is a rational number. It has a terminal decimal. It is the same as 14/10.
Is 0.625 rational number?
Yes, it is. Any terminal decimal is a rational number.
What is 6 out of 7 in percentages?
85.714% The decimal in not terminal so it keeps repeating, but this is the percentage to the nearest thousandth.
Are terminal decimals irrational numbers?
No, all terminal decimals are rational numbers. For a number to be irrational, its decimal representation must be non-terminal (never end) and never repeat. Here are a few terminal decimals and their fractional equivalents. Note that any number which can be expressed as any ratio of integers is rational. 0.333 = 333/1000 0.4 = 4/10 = 2/5 0.1427 = 1427/10000 In general, any terminating decimal expression has a certain number of digits after the decimal point. We will call those digits D1, D2, D3, D4, ... DN. We will ignore the whole-integer part of the number as this is rational and any rational number combined with another rational number is rational. The non-integer part (fractional-part) of this number can be expressed as the ratio: (D1D2D3...DN)/(10N) The numerator is an integer because all of the Dxs are integers from 0 to 9 inclusive. The denominator is an integer because N is the number of digits after the decimal in the terminal decimal expression, and 10 to a finite, integer power is an integer. Thus, any terminating decimal can be expressed as a ratio of two integers and is thus rational (not irrational).
