Answer
In rational numbers, if the denominator of the fraction can be expressed in the form of 2m. × 5n., then it is a terminating decimal.
(i) So, 25 can be expressed as 20. × 52., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is a terminating decimal number.
(ii) So, 12 can be expressed as 3 × 22. × 50., which is not in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is not a terminating decimal number.
(iii) So, 16 can be expressed as 24. × 50., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is a terminating decimal number.
(iv) So, 128 can be expressed as 27. × 50., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is a terminating decimal number.
(v) So, 50 can be expressed as 21. × 52., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is a terminating decimal number.
(vi) So, 125 can be expressed as 20. × 53., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is a terminating decimal number.
(vii) So, 55 can be expressed as 11 × 20. × 51., which is not in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is not a terminating decimal number.
(viii) So, 78 can be expressed as 39 × 21. × 50., which is not in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, it is not a terminating decimal number.
(ix) So, 80 can be expressed as 24. × 51., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is a terminating decimal number.
(x) So, 30 can be expressed as 3 × 21. × 51., which is not in the form of 2m. × 5n..
Hence, is not a terminating decimal number.
