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, 925\dfrac{9}{25} 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, 712\dfrac{7}{12} is not a terminating decimal number.

(iii) So, 16 can be expressed as 24. × 50., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..

Hence, 1316\dfrac{13}{16} is a terminating decimal number.

(iv) So, 128 can be expressed as 27. × 50., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..

Hence, 25128\dfrac{25}{128} is a terminating decimal number.

(v) So, 50 can be expressed as 21. × 52., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..

Hence, 950\dfrac{9}{50} is a terminating decimal number.

(vi) So, 125 can be expressed as 20. × 53., which is in the form of 2m. × 5n..

Hence, 121125\dfrac{121}{125} 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, 1955\dfrac{19}{55} 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, 2380\dfrac{23}{80} 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, 1930\dfrac{19}{30} is not a terminating decimal number.
