    Find the decimal expansion of the rational number \[\frac{31}{125}.\]

    A) \[\text{3}.\text{5}0\text{8}\]

    B) \[\text{2}.\text{248}\]     

    C) \[\text{5}.\text{69}\]

    D) \[0.\text{248}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Sol.      [d] Given, rational number is \[\frac{31}{125}\]
    \[\therefore \] Prime factorisation of \[125={{5}^{3}}\]
    Now,  \[\frac{31}{125}=\frac{31}{{{5}^{3}}}=\frac{31\times {{2}^{3}}}{{{5}^{3}}\times {{2}^{3}}}=\frac{248}{{{10}^{3}}}=0.248\]
    Thus, \[\frac{31}{125}\] has decimal expansion, which terminate.
