terminating decimal is when the quotient has the remainder of zero.
Finding a place value in a terminating decimal is easy. When placing the decimal always remember to place it at the tenth.
All jobs will use terminating decimals but most jobs will also require you to be able to work with recurring decimals and many will need decimal numbers which are neither terminating nor recurring.
pi is the quotient obtained by the dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter. It is not a rational number and so cannot be expressed as a fraction or a terminating decimal. You can not give the exact value of pi as a decimal no matter how many places you use.
0.3333333.... is irrational because it can not be stated exactly, no matter how many decimal places you use.

It is called a rational number. The rational numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (not dividing by 0). The fact that it is not terminating is not important at all. In fact, if we use other bases besides base 10, we will see that the set of numbers that are rational or irrational doesn't change. However, if we use another base, for example base 3, then the number 1/3 in base 3 can be represented with a terminating "decimal" (technically not decimal). The set of rational numbers that have terminating "decimals" depends on the base.

When solving a math problem
The given number has a specified number of digits. A non-terminating number, is one were the digits go to inifinity. e.g. Terminating ; 3.333 Non-terminating(recurs to infinity) ; 3.333.... ( Note the use of three or more stops to indicate recurrance).

YES!!!! Be it a terminating decimal or a decimal recurring to inifinity. Terminating decimal 2.222222 = 2 2/1000000 = 2 1/500000 As a recurring decimal 2.222.... ( Note the use of stops). Let P = 2.222.... Then 10P - 22.222... Subtract 9P = 20 ( Note the recurring decimals subtract to zero). P = 20/9 P = 2 2/9 NB When writing recurring decimal to infinity, the number is written as 2.222... ( with at least three stops/periods). Otherwise it is deemed to be a terminating decimal.

You could talk about decimal currency working in lots divisible by ten. Or you could say, "How do you use currency in a sentence?"
Kristin's answer to the problem was an infinitesimally small decimal.
The driver received non-fatal injuries in the crash.
I could use a little help to convert this fraction into it's decimal equivalent.
