Decimals can either terminate OR repeat. One decimal does not do both.
Example-- 3.059 is a terminating decimal, meaning it stops.
Example-- 3.059059... is a repeating decimal, meaning it repeats. You would write that as 3.059 with a line over the 0,5, and 9 because they repeat themselves.

Are rational numbers also integers?
Yes. Integers are whole numbers and their opposites. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. This includes decimals that terminate and repeat.
Why do decimals repeat?
Decimals repeat because there is no definite end. In these, you can end the repeat by rounding up... (Exp: 4.44444444444444... would be 4.45 or 4.445 or 4.4445, etc.
When there is a line over a decimal what dose that mean?
it means repeat those decimals forever. example: __ 4.56 = 4.56565656565656565656565656........
What does terminate mean in math?
To end, or if taling about decimals, a terminating decimal is a decimal that doesn't continue forever, like 0.2, a non-terminating decimal would be pi.
Are all decimals irrational numbers?
only decimals that never end and never repeat are irrational. a decimal is rational if it can be written as a fration or ratio of two numbers. for example: .3434343434343434... 100x=34.34343434... -x 99x=34 34/99
