Answer :

[tex]\frac{25}{48}[/tex] represents repeating decimal

Solution:

We are asked to find the rational number that represents repeating decimal

A repeating decimal, also called a recurring decimal, is a number whose decimal representation eventually becomes periodic (i.e., the same sequence of digits repeats indefinitely)

Option 1

[tex]\frac{11}{40} = 0.275[/tex]

So here the decimal part is not repeating. So [tex]\frac{11}{40}[/tex] does not represent repeating decimal

Option 2

[tex]\frac{3}{25} =0.12[/tex]

So here the decimal part is not repeating. So [tex]\frac{3}{25}[/tex] does not represent repeating decimal

Option 3

[tex]\frac{25}{48} = 0.52083333333[/tex]

So here in decimal part "3" is repeating and goes on forever

So [tex]\frac{25}{48}[/tex] represents repeating decimal

Option 4

[tex]\frac{7}{32} = 0.21875[/tex]

So here the decimal part is not repeating. So [tex]\frac{7}{32}[/tex] does not represent repeating decimal
