The decimal that never stops is called recurring decimal. For example - 1/3 = 0.3333... and goes on. Such decimals are written with a dot or bar on top of the numbers which are repeating.
a repeating decimal
To sum this answer up you half to turn the fraction into a decimal and if it ends that is terminating but if it keeps going it is called a repeating decimal EXAMPLES Terminating- 5/10=.5 Repeating- 1/3=.3333 (bar notation over the 3)

Answer = .3 with a bar above the 3 or .3 (3 repeating) or even ~.333 (if precision isn't very important). Note: Whenever you have a number in % or "percent" that you want to convert to a decimal number, simply divide the % number by 100 (for example: 33.3 % / 100 = .333). IF the % number is known to be repeating (for example 1/3=.3 repeating=33.3% (repeating)), then you can express the percent number in decimal as .3 with a bar above the 3 or as .3 (repeating) or even ~.333 (where "~" means "approximately). All are valid expressions of 33.3 % (repeating).
Unless you wish to write 0.15000 and place the repeating bar over the last zero, there is no other decimal for 0.15.
A non-repeating decimal is a decimal that never repeats itself. For example, pi is a non-repeating decimal.
