Which statement describes the decimal equivalent of 7/8?A: lt is a decimal with a repeating digit of 5.B: lt is a decimal with a repeating digit of 75.C: lt is a decimal that terminates after 2 decimal places.D: It is a decimal that terminates after 3 decimal places.
Accepted Solution
A:
7/8 = 0. 875
A and B are incorrect since it is not repeating. So now we are left with C and D. D is the correct answer because after the 0, there are 3 decimal places. And after 3 decimal places, it terminates. Thus, the answer is D: It is a decimal that terminates after 3 decimal places.
