What does find a terminating decimal mean?
It is a requirement to find a decimal representation which has only a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
What is a decimal that has finite digits after decimal point?
Pi or 3.141592653589793 etc........................... forever
What kind of decimal indicates a rational number?
A terminating decimal or a decimal that, after a finite number of digits, settles into a repeating pattern (known as a recurring decimal). This need not happen straight after the decimal point.
Why is the size of a decimal number not necessarily determined by the number of decimal places notated?
Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude. Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude.

When multiplying decimals where do you move the decimal?
the answer is it stays in the same place.* * * * *Not quite.Suppose you want to multiply two decimal numbers A and B. Multiply the two numbers ignoring the decimal points.Count the number of digits after the decimal point in the number A.Count the number of digits after the decimal point in the number B.Add these two numbers together. This is the number of digits you want after the decimal point in the answer. So count back from the end.Example:2.54 * 3.5 (this is number of centimetres in 3.5 inches)254*35 = 8890Number of digits after the decimal point in 2.54 is 2 (5 and 4).Number of digits after the decimal point in 3.5 is 1 (5).2 + 1 = 3 so there must be 3 digits after the decimal point in the answer.Therefore 8890 becomes 8.890NOW, you can simplify it to 8.89
What is a decimal number which ends after a finite number of digits after the decimal point is called?
It is a terminating decimal.
What is a rational number in decimal form that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point?
I think it's a repeating decimal.
What does find a terminating decimal mean?
It is a requirement to find a decimal representation which has only a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
Is 4.676 a rational number?
ANY number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point is rational.
Is .625 a terminating or repeating decimal?
.625 is a terminating decimal. A decimal is considered terminating if it has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. In the case of .625, there are only three digits after the decimal point, making it a terminating decimal.
Is 25.8125 irrational?
If the number of digits after the decimal point is finite, then the number will always be RATIONAL.
What is a decimal that has finite digits after decimal point?

How many place values for pi?
infinite number of digits after the decimal point -- pi does not have a finite value.

Is a decimal number with two digits is sometimes equal to a decimal number with three digits?
Only if the final digit, after the decimal point, is zero.
