A rational number can be written as the ratio of one blank to another and can be represented by a repeating or blank decimal

A rational number can be written in the form:
$$\frac{p}{q}; \ called \ the \ ratio \\ \\ where \ p \ and \ q \ are \ whole \ numbers$$
The number $$q$$ isn’t equal to zero because the division by zero is not defined. So we can represent rational numbers by a repeating or terminating decimal, for instance in the following four exercises we have:
$$\frac{2}{3}=0.6666.=0.\stackrel{\frown}{6} \\ \\ \frac{5}{8}=0.625000.=0.625\stackrel{\frown}{0} \\ \\ \frac{3}{1}=3.000.=3.\stackrel{\frown}{0} \\ \\ \frac{3446}{2475}=1.392323.=1.39\stackrel{\frown}{23}$$

we know that

A rational number is the quotient of two integers with a denominator that is not zero, and can be represented by a repeating or terminating decimal.

Repeating Decimal is a decimal number that has digits that go on forever

Terminating decimal is a decimal number that has digits that do not go on forever.

examples

$$\frac{1}{3} = 0.333.$$ (the $$3$$ repeats forever)-> Is a Repeating Decimal

$$0.25$$ (it has two decimal digits)-> Is a Terminating Decimal

therefore

A rational number can be written as the ratio of one$$integer$$ to another and can be represented by a repeating or $$terminating$$ decimal
