Answer 1

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

Let's analyze the options:

1. **√64**: This equals 8, which is a rational, terminating decimal (8.0).

2. **5/11**: This is a repeating decimal (0.454545...), not a terminating decimal.

3. **0.363636...**: This also represents a repeating decimal (0.36 repeating), not a terminating decimal.

4. **79**: This is a whole number, which can be expressed as 79.0, making it a rational, terminating decimal.

Based on the above analysis, both **√64** and **79** are rational, terminating decimals. However, if selecting one, **79** is the clearest answer since it explicitly shows its decimal form.

Thus, the correct response is **79**.
