State whether each of the following numbers is prime ,
composite, or neither. If composite, then list all the
factors of the number .
Answer the following.
3. In (a)-(e), use long division to change the
following fractions to decimals.
Notice the pattern above and use it as a
shortcut in (f)-(m) to write the following
fractions as decimals without performing
long division.
4. Use the patterns from the problem above to
change each of the following decimals to either a
proper fraction or a mixed number.
State whether each of the following numbers is
rational or irrational . If rational, then write the
number as a ratio of two integers. (If the number is
already written as a ratio of two integers, simply
rewrite the number.)
Circle all of the words that can be used to describe
each of the numbers below.
