Is an irrational a non-terminating decimal?
Not only non-terminating, but also non-repeating. 0.333... recurring is non-terminating but it is rational. In fact, most rational numbers are non-terminating decimals.
Can rational numbers be expressed as non-terminating decimals?
Some can. For example, 1/3 = 0.3333.... recurring.
Is non terminating but repeating decimals are irrational numbers?
If there's a repeating sequence then it's a rational number.
Are non-terminating decimals are always never or sometimes used for rational numbers?
Sometimes. '0.333333 ...' (non-terminating) is sometimes used for '1/3' . '0.25' (terminating) is used for '1/4' .
What type of decimals are irrational numbers?
Non-terminating, non-repeating decimals.
Are rational numbers non-terminating decimals?
No. Rational numbers are either terminating decimals or non-terminating BUT recurrent decimals.
Are non-terminating decimals rational numbers?
If they are non-terminating and there is a repeating pattern, then they are rational. If they are non-terminating and there is no repeating pattern, as in pi, they are irrational.
Is an irrational a non-terminating decimal?

Is 1 9 a rational number?
yes, all numbers except numbers that have non-terminating, non-repeating decimals.
Are decimals in a fraction always rational numbers?
There are are three types of decimals: terminating, repeating and non-terminating/non-repeating. The first two are rational, the third is not.
What are two characteristics of a rational and irrational number?
Rational numbers - can be expressed as a fraction, and can be terminating and repeating decimals. Irrational numbers - can't be turned into fractions, and are non-repeating and non-terminating. (like pi)
Can rational numbers be expressed as non-terminating decimals?

Is non terminating but repeating decimals are irrational numbers?
If there's a repeating sequence then it's a rational number.
Are all non-terminating decimals irrational?
0.3333... non-terminating = 1/3 (rational) 0.1666... non-terminating = 1/6 (rational) 0.0666... non-terminating = 1/15 (rational) 0.1111... non-terminating = 1/9 (rational) 0.3636... non-terminating = 4/11 (rational) 0.428571428... non-terminating = 3/7 (rational) I guess not .
What are terminating and non terminating numbers in rational numbers?
Terminating numbers are decimal representations of rational numbers. Nonterminating numbers may or may not be rational numbers.
Are non-terminating decimals are always never or sometimes used for rational numbers?
Sometimes. '0.333333 ...' (non-terminating) is sometimes used for '1/3' . '0.25' (terminating) is used for '1/4' .
Are all non terminating decimals irrational?
No. If they are recurring, then they are rational.
