terminating

Step-by-step explanation:

it is terminating because 17/8 = 2.125 it ends at 5

if it was repeating it would be something like ex: 1.3333333333333...

Answer 2

Answer: It is a terminating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

a Repeating Decimal is a decimal that goes on forever, and a Terminating Decimal is one that ends, or doesn't go on forever. 17/8 as a decimal is 2.12500; therefore, it is NOT a Repeating Decimal.
