Q1 (2)   Without actually performing the long division, state whether the following rational
             numbers will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non-terminating repeating decimal
             expansion:

\frac{17}{8}=\frac{17}{2^{3}}

The denominator is of the form 2a x 5b where a = 3 and b = 0. Therefore the given rational number will have a terminating decimal expansion.
