It means that it is a decimal representation of a rational fraction.
a decimal that repeats is called a repeating decimal
I you mean third of a pound it is 0.33333333333333 This decimal repeats itself.
repeating decimal
In the decimal expansion of , the digit repeats indefinitely.
It is a repeating decimal.
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.
a repeating decimal
17 is already in decimal. If you mean 1/7 (the fraction) then it's 0.142857, and the 142857 in the fraction part repeats forever.
.. has a string of digits which repeats for ever.

A repeating decimal is a decimal that contains a series of numbers that repeat indefinitely. Examples include: 3.44444... 4.565656... 2.356356356... An ellipsis (...) at the end of the decimal signals that it repeats indefinitely.
Yes. If you mean 5.7777 as a terminating decimal it is 57777/10000 If you mean 5.7777... as a recurring decimal where the 7 repeats forever it is 57/9 If a decimal number terminates or repeats one or more digits forever it is a rational number. Otherwise if a decimal number goes on forever but does not repeat any digits (eg √2 = 1.41421356...) then it is an irrational number.
