Well yeah...that depends.

Most of the decimals are rational.

For eg:0.6 is a rational number.

In this case it is a terminating decimal(because it has an end).

Non-terminating(does not have an end) decimals are also rational provided that they are repeating

for eg:0.6666666......... or 0.765765765765..........

Decimals can be irrational only if they are non-terminating AND non-repititive.

for eg:0.657419665876572424..........

In this case it is not ending and also not repeating,therefore it is an irrational decimal.
