All real numbers have a decimal representation. Rational numbers have decimal representations that terminate or repeat infinitely. Irrational Numbers have decimal representations that are non-terminating and non-repeating.

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.
