Pressumably that refers to the fact that the number of decimals is finite (not infinite). For example, if you divide 1 / 8, you get a finite number of decimals:
0.125
It ends there. Any further decimal digits would be zero, and can be omitted. On the other hand, if you divide 1 / 3, you get:
0.33333...
The 3s continue indefinitely.

What is a decimal number which ends after a finite number of digits after the decimal point is called?
It is a terminating decimal.
What is a rational number in decimal form that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point?
I think it's a repeating decimal.
How is a decimal a rational number?
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...
Is 2.1245 rational?
Yes, because it has a finite decimal expansion.

Repeating decimal definition?
A repeating decimal is a number expressed in decimal form in which, after a finite number of miscellaneous digits, the number continues with a string of a finite number of digits which repeats itself without end.
When a rational fraction is divided to form a decimal value it become a terminating or what decimal?
finite
What is a rational number in decimal form that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point?
I think it's a repeating decimal.
What does termanating decimal mean?
It means that the number of decimal digits is finite - that it eventually comes to an end.
What does find a terminating decimal mean?
It is a requirement to find a decimal representation which has only a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
How is a decimal a rational number?
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.

What decimal is pi?
There is no finite-length decimal number for pi. The decimal for pi goes on until infinity! The most commonly used approximation is 3.14
