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.
Hope this helps!

Is 1 over 6 a terminating decimal?
No, it is an infinitely recurring decimal.
Do one of these represent a terminating decimal. 2 over 6 3 over 6 4 over 6 5 over 6?
Yes because 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5
Is 6 point 111 a terminating or repeating decimal?
If it stops there then it is a terminating decimal.
Whats 1 over 6 turned into a decimal?
0.166666... with an infinite number of 6s. This is a non-terminating decimal.
What kind of decimal is 0.2345656565656?
It is a non-terminating decimal. It would be properly written as 0.23456 with a bar over the 5 and 6 ONLY.

Is the fraction 7 over 6 a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?
It is a recurring decimal. You only get a terminating decimal if, in the lowest form, the denominaor of the fraction is a factor of 10 or a power of 10. That is to say, only if the denominator is of the form 2m5n where m and n are non-negative integers.
Does adding two repeating decimals equal a repeating decimal?
certainly not Not necessarily. 1/3 = 0.333... 1/6 = 0.166... 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2 = 0.5, a terminating decimal.
How can you tell if a decimal is repeating or terminating?
That depends how the decimal is defined. If you have a fraction, and convert it to a decimal:* If the fraction, in simplest terms, only has the prime factors 2 and 5 in its denominator, the corresponding decimal number is terminating. This is related to the fact that 2 and 5 are the factors of 10 (the base of our decimal system). For example, a denominator of 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 32, 125, 625, 20, etc., will be terminating.* If there is any other prime factor in the denominator, the corresponding decimal number will repeat periodically. This is the case with denominators such as 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, etc.
What is 6 over 2 as a decimal?
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 2/6 is equal to 0.3 recurring, or 0.333... 2/6 = 2 divided by 6 = 0.3333 repeating
What is the decimal for 2 and 5 over 6?
2 5/6 = 2.8333... ≈ 2.833
