Separate the fractions 2/6, 2/5, 6/13, 1/25, 7/8, and 9/29 into two categories. The two categories are those that can be written as a terminating decimal and those that cannot. I don't understand what a terminating decimal is.

A terminating decimal ends after a certain finite number of decinal places, and does not have to be rounded off. An example would be 378 = 0.875

Your selfterminating decimal fractions are: 2/5, 1/25, and 7/8

Yes! That was a perfect explanation. And then what about conjectures?

Thank you both. So how would I form a conjecture of the terminating decimals
