Given: The following fractions: $$a) \frac{2}{15}$$
$$b)\frac{11}{20}$$
$$c)\frac{17}{40}$$
$$d)\frac{1}{12}$$ To find which of the following fractions are repeating decimals and which are terminating. The non-terminating decimals(repeating decimals): The non-terminating decimals are those which keep on continuing after decimal point. The terminating decimals: The terminating decimals are those which come to an end after few repetitions after decimal point. a) 215 Using long division method, $$0.1 \overline{3}$$
$${, 15 ) 20$$
$$-15$$
$$\_$$
$$050$$
$$-45$$
$$\_$$
$$05$$ A number 3 after the decimal point is repeating since the remainder 05 is there at the end of the long division. Therefore, the fraction has the repeating decimals. $$b) \frac{11}{20}$$ Using long division method, $$\_ \_ \_() \underline{0}.55$$
$$20 ) 110$$
$$-100$$
$$\_$$
$$0100$$
$$-100$$
$$\_$$
$$000$$
$$\_$$ There is an end after few repetitions after decimal point since the remainder is zero at the end of the long division. Therefore, the fraction has the terminating decimals. $$c) \frac{17}{40}$$ Using long division method, $$\_\_\_()\underline{0.}425$$
$$40 ) 170$$
$$-160$$
$$\_$$
$$0100$$
$$-80$$
$$\_$$
$$200$$
$$-200$$
$$\_$$
$$000$$
$$\_$$ There is an end after few repetitions after decimal point since the remainder is zero at the end of the long division. Therefore, the fraction has the terminating decimals. $$d) \frac{1}{12}$$ Using long division method, $$\_ \_ \_() \underline{0}.08\overline{3}$$
$$12 )100$$
$$- 96$$
$$\_$$
$$40$$
$$- 36$$
$$\_$$
$$04$$
$$\_$$ A number 3 after the decimal point is repeating since the remainder 04 is there at the end of the long division. Therefore, the fraction has the repeating decimals.

The article “Anodic Fenton Treatment of Treflan MTF” describes a two-factor experiment designed to study the sorption of the herbicide trifluralin. The factors are the initial trifluralin concentration and the $$\displaystyle{F}{e}^{{{2}}}\ :\ {H}_{{{2}}}\ {O}_{{{2}}}$$ delivery ratio. There were three replications for each treatment. The results presented in the following table are consistent with the means and standard deviations reported in the article. $$\displaystyle{b}{e}{g}\in{\left\lbrace{m}{a}{t}{r}{i}{x}\right\rbrace}\text{Initial Concentration (M)}&\text{Delivery Ratio}&\text{Sorption (%)}\ {15}&{1}:{0}&{10.90}\quad{8.47}\quad{12.43}\ {15}&{1}:{1}&{3.33}\quad{2.40}\quad{2.67}\ {15}&{1}:{5}&{0.79}\quad{0.76}\quad{0.84}\ {15}&{1}:{10}&{0.54}\quad{0.69}\quad{0.57}\ {40}&{1}:{0}&{6.84}\quad{7.68}\quad{6.79}\ {40}&{1}:{1}&{1.72}\quad{1.55}\quad{1.82}\ {40}&{1}:{5}&{0.68}\quad{0.83}\quad{0.89}\ {40}&{1}:{10}&{0.58}\quad{1.13}\quad{1.28}\ {100}&{1}:{0}&{6.61}\quad{6.66}\quad{7.43}\ {100}&{1}:{1}&{1.25}\quad{1.46}\quad{1.49}\ {100}&{1}:{5}&{1.17}\quad{1.27}\quad{1.16}\ {100}&{1}:{10}&{0.93}&{0.67}&{0.80}\ {e}{n}{d}{\left\lbrace{m}{a}{t}{r}{i}{x}\right\rbrace}$$ a) Estimate all main effects and interactions. b) Construct an ANOVA table.
