A rational, terminating decimal is a decimal that can be expressed as a fraction and has a finite number of digits after the decimal point.

Among the options provided:

1. **511** - This is a whole number and can be expressed as 511.0, which is a terminating decimal.
2. **5 over 11 (5/11)** - This fraction is a repeating decimal (0.454545...), not terminating.
3. **0.363636...** - This is also a repeating decimal (0.36 repeating), not terminating.
4. **√64 (square root of 64)** - This equals 8, which can be expressed as 8.0, a terminating decimal.
5. **79** - This is a whole number (79.0), which is a terminating decimal.
6. **7 ninths (7/9)** - This is a repeating decimal (0.7777...), not terminating.

Thus, the numbers that are rational, terminating decimals from the options given are **511**, **√64**, and **79**. However, since you need to select one, you can choose **511** or **79**.

If you want the most straightforward answer, **511** is a good choice.
