When a fraction is changed to a decimal and the remainder is not zero a digit or block of digits will eventually start to repear. such a decimal is called a?
A repeating decimal fraction.
What is the fractional form of a decimal number?
It is a decimal number in which there is at least one non-zero digit after the decimal point (excluding an infinitely repeating 9s).
When a fraction is changed to a decimal and the remainder is not a zero digit or block of digits will eventually start to repeat such a decimal is called a?
Not sure about a demial, but the number is called a repeating or recurring decimal.

Is -.5 repeating an integer?
No, -.5 repeating is not an integer because an integer is a whole number without decimals or fractions

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.
Is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point and it follows a non-zero digit or when it is betwee two digits?
Zero is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point. It is also a significant digit when it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits.
How can you tell whether a decimal hundredth can also be named as a decimal tenth?
You can if the last digit of the hundredth is zero.
Can a repeating decimal be an integer?
It can, since 0.999...=1. Therefore zero point nine repeating is an integer. Other repeating-decimal integers are 1.999..., 2.999...., -1.999..., etc.
How do you write a repeating decimal in word form?
An example of a repeating decimal is the fraction 1/6. One sixth equals zero point one six six repeating.
What happens when you are dividing decimals by whole numbers and you get a remainder?
Assuming by "decimals" you mean a number which has digits after a decimal point, then there is no remainder. You can append lots of zeros after the digits after the decimal point without changing the value of the number, and so you can continue the division after the non-zero decimal digits have been used up. eg 12.3 ÷ 2 gets to 6.1 and you think you have a remainder of 1, but you can append a zero to the 12.3 to get 12.30 without changing its value and now the division can continue to get: 12.30 ÷ 2 = 6.15 If the division does not terminate but ends with one or more digits repeating you can either indicate the repeating digit(s) by a dot over the first and last repeating digits (or over the digit if it is a single repeating digit), or round the answer to an appropriate number of decimal places - the question may tell you which to do.
