Yes, a rational number can be a repeating decimal. A repeating decimal is a decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely. For example, 1/3 is a rational number that can be written as the repeating decimal 0.333...
It is a repeating decimal.

If you repeat the pattern, adding one more zero every time, then no. To qualify as a "repeating decimal", the same digits have to repeat over and over.
The decimal for the fraction 7 over 9 is 0.7777…. This is a repeating decimal, which can be more cleanly expressed using a line (called a vinculum) over the repeating part, like this: 0.77 with a vinculum over the repeating portion of the number.

Repeating Decimal
Well, honey, a repeating decimal is just a fancy way of saying a number that goes on forever, like a bad date that won't end. So technically, yes, a repeating decimal is bigger than a normal decimal because it has more digits that keep repeating. But hey, don't stress about it too much, math is like a puzzle - sometimes you just gotta roll with it and hope for the best.
It is called a repeating decimal. It is also a form of a rational number.

2.3 repeating is already a decimal. It would look like this: 2.33333333333333... If you want a rounded decimal, you can use 2.3. However, 2.3 repeating would be more useful as a fraction for proportions and things. As a fraction, it is 2 1/3 (two and one third).
