Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decimal fractions have denominators that are powers of ten, which allows for easy conversion to percentages and simplified mathematical operations. Option A refers to non-terminating, non-repeating decimals, which is a subtype of decimal fractions, but not a characteristic of all decimal fractions. Option C is incorrect, as the size of a decimal fraction is dependent on its value and not inherently smaller than a common fraction, and option D is also incorrect as decimal fractions can easily be converted to percentages.
