No, the sum of a repeating decimal and a terminating decimal is never a terminating decimal.
To answer that question we should first talk about why any non-termination decimal number is equal to whatever it is. And to talk about that, we should first talk about the value of ordinary terminating decimals. Consider a terminating decimal, say 0.314. This decimal represents the sum of the fractions 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000; and longer (but still terminating) decimals can be computed in a similar way. But how do we decide what value a non-terminating decimal represents, say 0.314159265458979... and so on with a never-ending sequence of digits? By analogy, it should be equal to 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000 + 1/10,000 + ... and so on; but how can we figure out what such a never-ending sum adds up to? Well, one way of looking at it is as follows: Whatever value the decimal has, we know that (say)0.314 is off by no more than 0.001, since 0.314159... - 0.314 = 0.000159..., and 0.000159... is clearly < 0.001. Likewise, 0.3141 is off by no more than 0.0001, and 0.31415 is off by no more than 0.00001, and so on. In other words, the sequence of (terminating) decimals, 0.3, 0.31, 0.314, 0.3141, 0.31415, etc. gives us a list of better and better approximations to the ultimate value of the non-terminating decimal; and in fact by taking enough decimal places, the error in the approximation can be made as small as you like. If you've studied calculus, you may recognize this sort of discussion--it means that the value of the non-terminating decimal acts like the limit of the sequence of terminating decimals. In fact, it just *is* the limit of the sequence. So mathematicians have chosen to define the value of a non-terminating decimal as the limit of the sequence of approximations. Now we can talk about the specific case of 0.9 repeating: It turns out that the limit of the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ... is just equal to 1, exactly (which should not be too hard to convince yourself of) and therefore the value of the non-terminating decimal 0.9 repeating is, by definition, equal to 1.
The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is equal to 360 degrees.
The sum of the superscript in an electron configuration is equal to the atomic number.
Pi is only approximately equal to 3.14. There are several ways of defining pi; the first one that most people come across is that it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. But it can also be defined as the sum of infinite series or to a mathematician, most beautifully, in Euler's equation. Pi is an irrational number, that is one that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers and so it does not have a terminating or recurrent decimal representation.
To slightly amend the sum, one inch is equal to 2.54 centimetres. Therefore, rounded to two decimal places, 21.2 centimetres is equal to 21.2 / 2.54 = 8.35 inches.
To sum this answer up you half to turn the fraction into a decimal and if it ends that is terminating but if it keeps going it is called a repeating decimal EXAMPLES Terminating- 5/10=.5 Repeating- 1/3=.3333 (bar notation over the 3)
Simply because the solution to your sum produces a repeating decimal. Just as 22/7 (The value of Pi as a fraction) produces the repeating decimal 3.142857

Not necessarily. 1/3 = 0.333... 1/6 = 0.166... Their sum is 1/2 or 0.5 certainly not
Infinity.

Expressed as a decimal, 7 3/100 is equal to 7.03.
For a number to be rational you need to be able to write it as a fraction. To answer your question, it must repeat as a decimal or else terminate which can be thought of as repeating zeroes. Further, every repeating decimal can be written as a fraction and you can find the fraction by using the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series.
