Is 7.2 a terminating, recurring or an irrational decimal?
Terminating decimals have a limited number of digits after the decimal point.
Example:
73.23 = 73 23/100
Recurring decimals have one or more repeating numbers after the decimal point which continue on infinitely.
Example:
3115.3333 = 3115 3333/10000 = 333/1000 = 33/100 = 1/3 (rounded)
Irrational decimals go on forever and never form a repeating pattern. This type of decimal cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Example: 0.635936685.....
