0.625 is a rational number because it is a decimal that terminates.
To elaborate, a rational number can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (a fraction), and since 0.625 can be written as \( \frac{625}{1000} \) or simplified to \( \frac{5}{8} \), it meets the definition of a rational number.
So the correct reason for why 0.625 is rational is: **it is a decimal that terminates.**
