No, it is not. Let us take the denominator (6) and see if it is a factor of 2 or 5. Well, its not :(
Basically, if the denominator is 2 or 5, (or is a factor of 2 or 5 when squared or cubed) it is a terminating decimal. 2 and 5 are the only numbers that are factors of ten, and you know that 10 is the easiest denominator to reduce fractions through.

No, it is an infinitely recurring decimal.
Yes because 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5
If it stops there then it is a terminating decimal.
0.166666... with an infinite number of 6s. This is a non-terminating decimal.
