ASAP help pls


Sagot :

Answer: B), C), and E)

Explanation for B:

This is one of the correct statements because to simplify the fraction into decimal form you would need to divide the numerator by the denominator, which in this case; 35 is the numerator and 40 is the denominator. Therefore divide 35 by 40 is a correct statement.

Explanation for C:

This is another correct statement because when you actually divide the number 35 from 40 into a decimal, you end up with the value 0.875.

Explanation for E:

Another correct statement. In decimal form, the fraction 35/40 terminates, meaning it does not go on forever, and it also does not repeat forever. When a decimal does not terminate or repeat, it is considered a rational number. Since the decimal 0.875 does neither, it is also considered a rational number.

I hope this helps you! :D
