Example 5: Fractions Represent Terminating or Repeating Decimals
How do we determine whether the decimal representation of a quotient of two integers, with the divisor not equal to
zero, will terminate or repeat?






Example 6: Using Rational Number Conversions in Problem Solving
a. Eric and four of his friends are taking a trip across the New York State Thruway. They decide to split the cost of
tolls equally. If the total cost of tolls is , how much will each person have to pay?








b. Just before leaving on the trip, two of Erics friends have a family emergency and cannot go. What is each persons
share of the tolls now?

Lesson Summary
The real world requires that we represent rational numbers in different ways depending on the context of a
situation. All rational numbers can be represented as either terminating decimals or repeating decimals using the
long division algorithm. We represent repeating decimals by placing a bar over the shortest sequence of repeating
digits.
