Well, honey, a repeating decimal is just a fancy way of saying a number that goes on forever, like a bad date that won't end. So technically, yes, a repeating decimal is bigger than a normal decimal because it has more digits that keep repeating. But hey, don't stress about it too much, math is like a puzzle - sometimes you just gotta roll with it and hope for the best.

Is a repeating decimal greater than a decimal?
A repeating decimal is a decimal number in which a digit or a sequence of digits repeats infinitely. Whether a repeating decimal is greater than a non-repeating decimal depends on the specific values of the decimals in question. In some cases, a repeating decimal can be greater than a non-repeating decimal, while in other cases, it can be less than. Comparing the magnitudes of repeating and non-repeating decimals requires careful analysis of their patterns and values.
Is a repeating decimal greater than a terminating decimal?
yes it is
Are repeating numbers bigger than non repeating numbers?
It kind of depends. for example, if you had 19.999999999 and that went on forever, then you had 19.99 that stopped then the repeating one would be bigger, however if you had 19.9900000000 instead of 19.99, then the repeating one is not bigger.
How can you predict whether a quotient will be terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?
If the denominator of the fraction, when written in its simplest form, has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it will be a repeating decimal fraction otherwise it will terminate.
What is the greatest possible decimal that is greater than 3 but less than 9?
It is 8.999... (repeating, except for 1 digit somewhere in the repeating string which is not a 9).
