Answer :
Let x = p/q be a rational number, such that the prime factorization of q is of the form 2n 5m, where n, m are non-negative integers. Then x has a decimal expansion which terminates.
The maximum power of 2 or 5 in the given rational number is 2.
So, it will terminate after 2 places of decimals.
