Any number that can be expressed as a fraction can also be expressed as a terminating decimal and a non terminating decimal can't be expressed as a fraction and so therefore it is an irrational number.
terminating decimals repeating decimals
Some decimals repeat. Some decimals go on forever. Some decimals stop. Those are called terminating decimals.
Terminating decimals are decimals that end, such as, 2.384. Non-terminating decimals that don't end, such as, 0.3333333333.......
Some non-terminating decimals are repeating decimals.
A terminating decimal means a decimal with a definite end. For example 1/2 = .50. 3/4 = .75 3/8 = .375 The decimals that don't end or called non-terminating decimals.
Any number that can be expressed as a fraction can also be expressed as a terminating decimal and a non terminating decimal can't be expressed as a fraction and so therefore it is an irrational number.
No. Rational numbers are either terminating decimals or non-terminating BUT recurrent decimals.
terminating decimals non terminating decimals repeating decimals non repeating decimals
They're applied to decimals. Some decimals stop, like 0.75 That's a terminating decimal. Some decimals keep on going in patterns, like 0.3333... or 0.565656... Those are repeating decimals.

Decimals can be recurring. Decimals can be terminating. They can't be both.
They are called terminating decimals.
