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.
A decimal rational number can be expressed as a fraction A decimal irrational number can not be expressed as a fraction
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
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.
Yes, all rational numbers can be written as decimal numbers.
0.42 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its equivalent, in rational form, is 42/100. You can simplify this rational fraction if you require.

A repeating decimal is rational.
Any terminating decimal is rational. So are repeating (periodic) decimals.Any terminating decimal is rational. So are repeating (periodic) decimals.Any terminating decimal is rational. So are repeating (periodic) decimals.Any terminating decimal is rational. So are repeating (periodic) decimals.
The decimal representation of a rational number.
Yes. Any terminating decimal is a rational number. Any repeating decimal also.
No. It is a rational number. Any repeating decimal or terminating decimal is rational.
It is rational. An irrational number is a number that you cannot define by a fraction or a decimal. Since you wrote it as a decimal, it is rational.

yes any number that that can be made into a fraction is a rational number. 42= 42/1 so it is a rational number
