(N/A) rational number $\frac{p}{q}$ has a terminating decimal expansion if the prime factorization of the denominator $q$ is of the form $2^n \times 5^m$,where $n$ and $m$ are non-negative integers.
Here,the denominator is $200$.
The prime factorization of $200$ is $200 = 2^3 \times 5^2$.
Since the denominator is in the form $2^n \times 5^m$,the rational number $\frac{23}{200}$ has a terminating decimal expansion.
To find the decimal expansion,we can write the denominator as a power of $10$:
$\frac{23}{200} = \frac{23 \times 5}{200 \times 5} = \frac{115}{1000} = 0.115$.
