Page 5 Exercise 1 Answer
We know that the addition of zeroes at the end of a decimal number doesn’t change its value.
A number that has a finite number of decimals in it can also be represented by adding repeating zeroes at the end of it.
Even though we add repeating zeroes, the number of decimals present in the given number is finite.
The given number terminates at this point. Thus, it is a terminating decimal.
A finite number of decimals can also be represented in the form of repeating zeroes at the end.
For example,
12.2750000 or 12.275
15.840000 or 15.84
These are some of the examples of terminating decimal which has repeating zeros in it.
A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends in repeating zeros.
Page 5 Exercise 2 Answer
We know that the addition of zeroes at the end of a decimal number doesn’t change its value.
But if the decimal gets repeated again and again, the loop goes endlessly and the digits repeat forever.
A number that has an infinite number of decimals in it is termed to be the repeating decimals.
A repeating decimal doesn’t terminate at any point. The decimal will be infinite.
For example,
15.57 or 15.575757….
\(19.75 \overline{4} \text { or } 19.754444444 \ldots\)These are some of the examples of repeating decimal which has repeating digits in it.
A repeating decimal is a decimal in which a digit or digits repeat endlessly.
Page 5 Exercise 4 Answer
We can write any number as a fraction.
A fraction can be used to describe the part of the things.
It is described as a part of a whole or a part of a set.
The division of any number is said to be the fraction.
For example, if we are going to eat half of the eight eggs we have, it is represented as,
\(\frac{1}{2} \times 8=4\)A fraction is a number that can be describe a part of a whole, a part of a set, a location on a number line, or a division of whole numbers.
Page 5 Exercise 7 Answer
Given decimal is 7.0001
We need to determine whether the given decimal is terminating or repeating.
The given number is 7.0001
It can also be written as 7.00010000000000000000…
Since they both represent the same.
This is because the addition of zeroes at the end of a decimal number doesn’t change its value.
A number that has a finite number of decimals in it can also be represented by adding repeating zeroes at the end of it.
Even though we add repeating zeroes, the number of decimals present in the given number is finite. i.e., .0001.
The given number terminates at this point. Thus, it is a terminating decimal.
The given number 7.0001 is a terminating decimal.
Page 5 Exercise 9 Answer
Given decimal is \(1.1 \overline{7} 8\)
We need to determine whether the given decimal is terminating or repeating.

If the number of decimals is infinite and the number gets repeated again and again, it is referred as repeating decimal.
The given number doesn’t terminate at any point as it has an infinite number of decimals.
The number 178 gets repeated again and again.
The given number can also be represented as 1.178178178…
Thus, it is a repeating decimal.
The given number \(1.1 \overline{7} 8\) is a repeating decimal.

We need to use the Graphic organizer to help you understand new vocabulary terms such as cube root, irrational number, a perfect cube, perfect square, scientific notation, and square root.
Cube root can be found by finding a number that when multiplied three times by itself gives the original number.
A square root can be found by finding a number that when multiplied two times by itself gives the original number.
If we multiply an integer three times by itself, it will result in a perfect cube.
If we multiply an integer two times by itself, it will result in a perfect square.
Expressing the biggest or the smallest number in decimal form is referred to the scientific notation.
A number that cannot be expressed as a fraction is said to be an irrational number.
Cube Root:
Definition – A number which when multiplied 3 times by itself gives the original number.
Example – \(\sqrt[3]{64}=4\)
Irrational number:

Page 12 Exercise 17 Answer
When writing a repeating decimal as a fraction, we need to explain why does the fraction always have only 9s or 9s and Os as digits in the denominator.
A repeating decimal can be written as a fraction by assuming the decimal as a variable.
After that, multiply each side of it by the multiples of 10.
The power of the number ten which we can use to convert the decimal to fraction can be obtained by looking into the number of repeating digits in a decimal.
If the number of repeating digits is two, then the power of ten multiplied with the decimal will also be two.
The subtraction of any number of the power of ten by one will result in a number 9 or the multiples of it.
This is why the denominator is always 9 or 9 and 0.
The number divided by 9s or 9s and 0s will result in repeating decimals. That is why when we convert that to a fraction, the denominator is always 9s or 9s and 0s.
