    a) frac{13}{50}

    As 50=5X5X2=5^2X2

    =Denominator has prime factors 2 and 5

    therefore Decimal representation of frac{13}{50} will be terminating

    b) frac{13}{32}

    As 32=2^5

    =Denominator has 2 as a prime factor.

    therefore Decimal representation of frac{13}{32} will be terminating.

    c) frac{13}{90}

    As 90=2X3X3X5

    =Denominator has prime factors other than 2 and 5.

    therefore Decimal representation of frac{13}{90} will not be terminating.

     10th
    The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
