Question 1. Write the following in decimal form and say what kind of decimal  expansion each has
 
Solution: (i)36/100  = 0.36  and it is terminating.
(ii)  by long division method we get 

 
And 
(iii) 1/11 = 0.090909090……….  
So it is a non terminating number 
 
4.125 is a terminating number 
(iv)

 
We are getting  3/13 = 0.230769230769230769…..
There is repetition of 230769 so it is a non terminating number 
(v)

 
2/11 = 0.18181818 ……..
There is repartition of 18 so it is not terminating number 
(vi)

 
329/400 = 0.8225
So it is terminating number
