The rational fraction, one third, can be represented as a non terminating decimal, with the digit 3 repeating for ever.
terminating decimal is when the quotient has the remainder of zero.
Who are you terminating terminator.
When solving a math problem
It is called a rational number. The rational numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (not dividing by 0). The fact that it is not terminating is not important at all. In fact, if we use other bases besides base 10, we will see that the set of numbers that are rational or irrational doesn't change. However, if we use another base, for example base 3, then the number 1/3 in base 3 can be represented with a terminating "decimal" (technically not decimal). The set of rational numbers that have terminating "decimals" depends on the base.
Finding a place value in a terminating decimal is easy. When placing the decimal always remember to place it at the tenth.
All jobs will use terminating decimals but most jobs will also require you to be able to work with recurring decimals and many will need decimal numbers which are neither terminating nor recurring.

You could talk about decimal currency working in lots divisible by ten. Or you could say, "How do you use currency in a sentence?"
