Answer:
8/22: this fraction will NOT terminate
189/270: this fraction WILL terminate
Step-by-step explanation:
I saw in the question that it says to solve the question by demonstrating the method discussed in class. I don't know what's the method you were taught, but I'll explain how I solved it.
When a fraction is in its simplest form, write out the prime factors of the denominator. If the denominator has 2s and/or 5s, the fraction WILL terminate in their decimal form.
8/22 in its simplest form is 4/11:
The only prime factors of the denominator, 11, are 1 and 11. There are no 2s and/or 5s present, so this fraction will NOT terminate.
189/270 in its simplest form is 7/10.
The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5, meaning that this fraction WILL terminate.
