If a decimal can be expressed as a fraction then it is a rational number

as for example 0.75 = 3/4

Also, if the decimal ever ends, or is a never ending repeat of the same digit

or group of them, then it's a rational number.

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.
