Yes, for example 3/2 can be written as 1.5. All rational numbers have either a decimal expression of finite length or a repetitive pattern, unlike an irrational number, which goes on for ever when written in decimal form, never repeating.

Is 15 point 15151515 repeating an irrational number?
No, any repeating decimal digit is a rational number. It only states that it is non-terminating decimal. It is rational.
Is decimal a rational number?
It depends. A terminating decimal is a rational number. A decimal which, after a finite number of places, becomes a repeating (or recurrent) decimal is also a rational number. A decimal that is not terminating, nor [eventually] settles into a recurring pattern is not a rational number. Note that the decimal need not become recurring immediately.
If it doesn if a decimal doesn't terminate or repeat is it still a rational number or not?
No, if a decimal does not terminate or repeat, it is not a rational number. Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, and their decimal representation either terminates or repeats after a certain point. Decimals that do not have a pattern and continue indefinitely are considered irrational numbers.
What kind of decimal indicates a rational number?
A terminating decimal or a decimal that, after a finite number of digits, settles into a repeating pattern (known as a recurring decimal). This need not happen straight after the decimal point.
What is a rational number in a decimal form that has a block of one or more digits after the decimal point that repeats continuously and are not all zero?
A recurring decimal.
What is a rational number in decimal form that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point?
I think it's a repeating decimal.
Is 4.676 a rational number?
ANY number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point is rational.
Is 25.8125 irrational?
If the number of digits after the decimal point is finite, then the number will always be RATIONAL.
Is 15 point 15151515 repeating an irrational number?
No, any repeating decimal digit is a rational number. It only states that it is non-terminating decimal. It is rational.
Is 0737373 rational irrational both rational and irrational or neither rational?
It is rational.A number cannot be both rational and irrational.
Is 1.171171117 a rational number?
Yes. Any number that you can completely write down using digits and a decimal point is a rational number.
How can a decimal be a rational number-?
Rational Numbers are any number that can be written in fraction form .This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions. A decimal number can be written in rational numbers depending on the place value of the decimal point.
Is .345 repeating an irrational or rational number?
Any repeating decimal digits (this includes repetition after a certain point, e.g. 2.4510101010...) is a rational number.
Is 0.121212 a rational number?
Yes. It's the ratio of (30,303) to (250,000). Any number that you can write completely using digits and a decimal point is a rational number.

Decimals that do not have a pattern and continue indefinitely are considered irrational numbers.
How is an irrational number different from rational numbers?
Irrationals differ from Rationals by definition. If a real number is not a Rational Number then it is Irrational. One way to find out if a number is either Rational or Irrational is to look at its decimal value. If the digits past the decimal point terminate then it is a Rational number. If the digits past the decimal point repeat the same digit forever, of if it repeats a sequence of digits over and over, then it is a Rational Number. If the digits past the decimal point do not repeat in any pattern, and do not stop, then it is an Irrational number. Another way to find out if a number is Rational or Irrational is if it can be exactly described by a fraction (ratio). If it is the same as some fraction, then it is a Rational Number. Irrationals cannot be exactly described as a fraction.
