The answer would be 0.90
The easiest way to think of decimals is in terms of something over 100.
For example:
You want to figure out 2 over 5 in decimal form.
1. Multiply the denominator by something so it equals 100.
5 x _ = 100
5 x 20 = 100
2. Multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied the denominator by.
2 x 20 = 40
3. Put them together in fraction form.
40/100
4. Take the new numerator and move the decimal place two to the right.
40.0 = 0.40
Now you have you answer: .40
I hope that wasn't too complicated. I'm not very good at explaining things.
If anything, you can use a calculator and just divide the numerator by the denominator. :)

A decimal that does NOT recur to infinity. e.g. 3.2424 is a terminal decimal 3.242424.... is a recurring to infinity decinal. Note the use of three or more stops after the last (right hand) digit. e.g. Terminal decimals 3.1 3.12 4.156. 0.1234 et seq.,
The pattern could be that of recurring decimals.
A repeating decimal is a decimal that, well, repeats itself! Like .33333333333333....... The threes never end, they just keep going. Non-reapeting are decimals like .5 or .3 or .57. They end! :)
there are infinite numbers between these decimals. you could have .51 .511 .5111 .51111 .51928471289347 .5918237498 .59283759823758923 as long as you keep making the number greater. all these numbers are decimals between. 0.5 and 0.6
Not always because it could be less than 0 as for example -3 because an integer is a whole number without decimals or fractions
