A rational number is defined as the quotient of two integers. When written as a decimal, the decimal will either repeat or terminate. By looking at the denominator of the rational number, there is a way to tell in advance whether its decimal representation will repeat or terminate. Make a list of rational numbers and their decimals. See if you can discover the pattern. Confirm your conclusion by consulting books on number theory at the library. Write a brief essay on your findings.
