Write the whole number down.
Convert the decimal into a fraction.
Write the fraction next to the whole number and treat it as a mixed fraction.
Thus:
4.1666.....
Step I: 4
Step II: 0.1666... = 1/6
Step III: Answer = 41/6
You could convert 41/6 to 25/6 if you like.

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the top number by the bottom number.
The easiest way it to convert them all to decimals. Carry out the repeating decimals to an equal number of places. Then it is easy to put them in order.
No. Anything that has a finite number of decimals (or repeating decimals) is a rational number.
Repeating decimals are always rational.
Repeating decimals consist of a fixed string of digits which repeat infinitely in the decimal representation of a number. These may start anywhere after a finite number of digits.

All repeating decimals are rational numbers. Not all rational numbers are repeating decimals.

No. Repeating decimals are rational.
A repeating decimal is a rational number. Its value is(the repeating set of digits)/(as many 9s as there are digits above).
Repeating decimals are rational numbers if there is a pattern, like 0.22222222. If it is not a pattern, like 0.568964329, it is an irrational number.
Some decimals are non-repeating numbers, and some aren't.
Any non-repeating decimals
Repeating decimals consist of a fixed string of digits which repeat infinitely in the decimal representation of a number. These may start anywhere after a finite number of digits.
Oh honey, you take that 4.8 with the little line on top that keeps on going like a broken record and you multiply it by 10 to get 48. Then you subtract the original number to get 9, and divide by 9 to simplify it to 1. So, that repeating decimal is equal to 4.8 with a line on top is 1.
