A terminating decimal is a number that stops dividing after a number of decimal points and is therefore a rational number.
For instance, 1/2 = 0.5. (so 0.5 is a rational number because it can be written as a fraction).
Terminating number or better known as terminating decimal has an end. It has to stop after the decimal point.
Examples:
1/2 = 0.5
1/4 = 0.25

Does the sum of a repeating decimal and a terminating decimal equal a terminating decimal?
No, the sum of a repeating decimal and a terminating decimal is never a terminating decimal.
What does terminating decimal mean in math?
Decimals can be "terminating" "recurring" or "other." A terminating decimal is one which is finite. Recurring and other decimals continue on forever. For instance 0.5 is a terminating decimal. 0.729 is a terminating decimal. 0.3333333... is not a terminating decimal. pi (3.1415926535....) is not a terminating decimal.
