Lucas uses his calculator to write as a decimal. His calculator display shows the number . Lucas says, "This shows my fraction terminates." Is Lucas correct? Explain why.
Yes; Lucas' number has 10 digits after the decimal point so it terminates.
Yes; the last digit is 9 not 8 so it doesn't repeat. So it must terminate.
