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, 16 can be expressed as 24 × 50.
Hence, it is a terminating decimal number.
(ii)
So, 125 can be expressed as 20 × 53.
Hence, it is a terminating decimal number.
(iii)
So, 14 cannot be expressed in form of 2m × 5n.
Hence, it is not a terminating decimal number.
(iv)
So, 45 cannot be expressed in form of 2m × 5n.
Hence, it is not a terminating decimal number.
(v)
So, 50 can be expressed in form of 21 × 52.
Hence, it is a terminating decimal number.
