Yes.

Supposing the decimal terminates after n digits following the decimal point.

Then consider the fraction whose numerator is the integer formed from the decimal by removing the decimal point. The denominator is 10n or 1 followed by n 0s. This fraction is equivalent to the terminating decimal.

What are decimals that have a finite number of digits?

Decimals that have a finite number of digits are known as terminating decimals. These numbers can be expressed as fractions where the denominator is a power of 10. For example, 0.75 and 0.5 are terminating decimals, as they can be written as 75/100 and 5/10, respectively. In contrast, non-terminating decimals, such as 0.333..., do not have a finite number of digits.


Can fractions always be written as decimals?

You can always convert a fraction to a decimal. For some fractions, you'll get terminating decimals. For example, 1/8 = 0.125. For other fractions, you get repeating decimals, such as 1/7 = 0.142857 142857 142857...To convert the fraction to a decimal, just divide the numerator by the denominator, for example on a calculator.
