A decimal is a rational number if:* It terminates - i.e., it has a finite number of decimal digits.
* It doesn't terminate, but it repeats the same pattern over and over - possibly after a finite number of digits that are not included in the pattern. For example, 0.145145145145..., or 3.125252525...

No. It is a rational number. Any repeating decimal or terminating decimal is rational.
Decimals are real. They can be rational or irrational.
A number with a finite number of decimal digits is always rational. (If the number of decimal digits is infinite, the number is rational only if there is a repeating pattern.)
It is still a rational number.
No. A rational number is any terminating numeral. A repeating decimal is irrational.
