Is decimal a rational number?
It depends. A terminating decimal is a rational number. A decimal which, after a finite number of places, becomes a repeating (or recurrent) decimal is also a rational number. A decimal that is not terminating, nor [eventually] settles into a recurring pattern is not a rational number. Note that the decimal need not become recurring immediately.
What are the difference between decimal in rational and decimal in irrational?
A decimal rational number can be expressed as a fraction A decimal irrational number can not be expressed as a fraction
Why decimal is considered as rational number?
A decimal need not be a rational. A non-terminating, non recurring decimal is an irrational number. Only a terminating decimal or a recurring decimal is rational and that is because such a number can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Why every rational number can be represented by either a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?
That is the definition of a rational number.
What can you say about the decimal expansion of any rational number?
If its a rational number then its decimal equivalent can be expressed as a fraction
