Q1(i):
Write the following in decimal form and say what kind of decimal expansion each has :
(i) $\frac{36}{100}$
Solution :
Initial Setup & Given Variables
We are tasked with evaluating the rational number provided in fractional form:
$x = \frac{36}{100}$
The objective is to convert this fraction into its equivalent decimal representation and mathematically classify the nature of its decimal expansion.
Step 1: Conversion to Decimal Form
To convert a fraction to a decimal, we perform the division of the numerator by the denominator. When the denominator is a perfect power of $10$ (i.e., $10^k$), the division can be executed by shifting the decimal point of the numerator $k$ places to the left.
- Numerator: $36$ (which can be written as $36.0$)
- Denominator: $100 = 10^2$
Since the exponent $k = 2$, we shift the decimal point two places to the left:
$x = \frac{36}{100} = 0.36$
Step 2: Analyzing the Nature of the Decimal Expansion
A decimal expansion is classified based on its termination behavior:
- Terminating Decimal: The division process yields a remainder of zero after a finite number of steps, resulting in a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
- Non-Terminating Repeating Decimal: The division process never yields a zero remainder, but a digit or a block of digits repeats infinitely.
Because the value $0.36$ ends exactly after the hundredths place (two decimal digits), it is classified as a terminating decimal expansion.
Step 3: Theoretical Justification via Prime Factorization
[Per the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic and the properties of rational numbers], a rational number expressed in its simplest form $\frac{p}{q}$ will have a terminating decimal expansion if and only if the prime factorization of its denominator $q$ is strictly of the form:
$q = 2^n \times 5^m$
where $n$ and $m$ are non-negative integers.
Let us analyze the denominator $q = 100$:
$100 = 10 \times 10 = (2 \times 5) \times (2 \times 5) = 2^2 \times 5^2$
Here, $n = 2$ and $m = 2$. Because the prime factors of the denominator consist exclusively of $2$ and $5$, the mathematical theorem guarantees that the fraction $\frac{36}{100}$ must resolve into a terminating decimal.
Step 4: Visual Representation of the Decimal
To conceptualize $0.36$ geometrically, we can map the fraction onto a $10 \times 10$ Cartesian grid representing $100$ equal units. Shading $36$ of these units provides a precise visual truth of the decimal's magnitude.
Final Solution: The decimal form of $\frac{36}{100}$ is $0.36$, and it has a terminating decimal expansion.

I was a teacher at a CBSE-affiliated school. I have six years of experience teaching on online platforms. I have been conducting Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry classes for high school and higher secondary students for more than 20 years. I believe I can encourage and motivate students to achieve excellent academic results while inspiring them to develop good values and habits.
Sini ma'am is an excellent maths teacher. I joined her classes at exactly the right time when I needed clarity, and she explained every concept in a very simple and structured way. Her teaching style made even difficult topics easy to understand, and my confidence in maths improved a lot in a short period. She is very patient, supportive, and genuinely cares about her students’ understanding. I’m really grateful for the guidance and clarity she gave me.

Hello, my name is Atulya Kumar. I have completed my studies at IIT(ISM)_Dhanbad and I am currently pursuing a PhD at NIT-Rourkela. With a degree in engineering, I am dedicated to teaching. Since 2019, I have been teaching physics to JEE, NEET, and Class XI & XII board students. I take great pride in sharing that my students have achieved exceptional results, with some clearing NEET 2022 with an AIR of 2513 and NEET 2023 with an AIR of 1702. Additionally, many of my students have scored above the 98th percentile in JEE Mains 2023. Teaching physics is a personal challenge for me. I strive to create a comfortable learning environment where students can fully grasp the concepts and apply them effectively during examinations, resulting in excellent marks and ranks.
