What are repeating decimals?
When you convert a fraction to a decimal sometimes the decimal repeats forever. For example 1/3 as a decimal = 0.333333333.... (or 0.3 "recurring"). Another example is 1/7=0.142857142857.... (or 0.142857 recurring).
What is the 37th digit for pi?

What is the difference between a terminating and a repeating decimal?
A terminating decimal reaches an end after a finite number of digits whereas a repeating decimal, after a finite number of digits, has a string of decimals (also of finite length) that repeats forever. Thus 1.2356 is a terminating decimal. 1.456333... is a repeating decimal with the digit 3 repeating an infinite number of times. So also is 23.56142857142857...... where the string 142857 repeats to infinity. In fact, terminating decimals may be viewed as repeating decimals with zero repeating infinitely.
Which digit is in the tens place?
The tens place digit (in a decimal system number) is the second digit to the left of the decimal point.
What are the thousands and ones places in a number?
The thousands digit is 4 left of the decimal point and the ones digit is the digit to the left of the decimal point. In a whole number the decimal point is not written and can be considered as "hiding" after the last digit - the ones digit.
A decimal number in which a digit or group of digits repeats without end?
a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats without end
What is 608 divided by 24?
25.3333
12 times what equals 58?
4.83333333 (the digit 3 repeats indefinitely).
What is a decimal in which a digit or a group of digits repeats without end?
It is a repeating decimal.
How do you write the fraction 2 3rd as a decimal?
__ .6 would be the proper way (a bar written over the 6, which means that digit repeats indefinitely). For common calculations, people may round to a certain number of decimal places. In that case you would have 0.67 or 0.6667 where the last digit is 7 because that digit gets rounded up.
What is the 2012th digital after the decimal in the decimal expansion of 881?
It is 0. As is every digit after the decimal point.
What is the rate in miles per hour of a plane that travels 478 in 3 hours?
159.3333 mph (the digit 3 repeats indefinitely)
What does repeated decimal mean?
A repeated decimal is a decimal representation of a number in which, following a finite string of digits, the decimal digits settles into a string which repeats itself again and again - forever. For example, 111.11/77 = 1.44298701298701... The repeating pattern 298701 appears after the first three digits of the decimal representation.
How do you determine if a decimal is rational or not?
A decimal is a rational number if it ever ends, or if it repeats the same single digit or set of digits forever.
What is meaning of repeating decimals?
If I understand your question, you want to know the meaning of the phrase "repeating decimal". It just means an infinite decimal expansion (a decimal with infinitely many digits) in which, from some point on, the same digit or group of digits just keeps repeating forever. Every rational number (fraction) has a decimal that either terminates (in which case it can be considered to be a repeating decimal in which the digit 0 keeps repeating; 1/2 = 0.5 = 0.5000000000...) or repeats. An irrational number has a decimal expansion that never repeats. For example, 1/3 = 0.33333333333...; 1/7 = 0.142857142857142857...; 1/30 = 0.03333333333.... and is often represented with a line above the repeating number
What is decimal expansion?
It is expressing a number in decimal form: that is, a form in which the place value of each digit is one tenth the place value of the digit to its left.
How do you know whether a fraction terminates or repeats in decimal form?
If it repeats, there should be a little line over the last digit(s) that repeat. If it terminates, then the numbers will not repeat.
