Answer 1

Answer:

1/11 is a repeating decimal

9/100 is a terminated decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of the fractional part of 100 can be determined as percentages.  Using this, we can see that 9/100 will result in .09 or 9%.

Properties of the fractional part of 11 can be seen to be a non-divisible number resulting in a repeating decimal equivalent.  So, 1/11 will result in .090909 ad infinitum.

Note, that odd divisors that are not multiples of 5, typically will result in a repeating decimal.
