Terminating decimal: 1.5 is exactly equal to 'one and one half'. It needs no more digits. Repeating decimal: 0.33333 is close to 'one third' but not equal. As more 3's are added on the end of it, it gets closer to 'one third'. By adding enough 3's you can get as close as you want to 'one third', but it can never be EXACTLY equal to one third.
