There is at least one example:
4/5 = 0.8
5/4 = 1.25
Because they are terminating decimals
Decimals that have a finite number of digits are known as terminating decimals. These numbers can be expressed as fractions where the denominator is a power of 10. For example, 0.75 and 0.5 are terminating decimals, as they can be written as 75/100 and 5/10, respectively. In contrast, non-terminating decimals, such as 0.333..., do not have a finite number of digits.
When expressed as a decimal, a rational number will either be terminating (end with a finite number of digits) or repeating (have a repeating pattern of digits).
terminating decimals repeating decimals
Some can. For example, 1/3 = 0.3333.... recurring.
Because they are terminating decimals
The former can be expressed as a fraction whereas the latter can't be expressed as a fraction.
Any number that can be expressed as a fraction can also be expressed as a terminating decimal and a non terminating decimal can't be expressed as a fraction and so therefore it is an irrational number.
Any number that can be expressed as a fraction can also be expressed as a terminating decimal and a non terminating decimal can't be expressed as a fraction and so therefore it is an irrational number.

Terminating decimals are decimals that end, such as, 2.384. Non-terminating decimals that don't end, such as, 0.3333333333.......

No. Rational numbers are either terminating decimals or non-terminating BUT recurrent decimals.
