To determine which option correctly describes a number, we first need to know the specific number in question. However, I can explain the terms to help you identify the correct choice once you know the number:
- **Terminating**: A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends after a finite number of digits (e.g., 0.5 or 1.75).
- **Repeating**: A repeating decimal is a decimal that continues infinitely but has a repeating pattern (e.g., 0.333... or 2.666...).
- **Rational**: A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers (e.g., 1/2, 4, -3, 0.75). Both terminating and repeating decimals are considered rational.
- **Irrational**: An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (e.g., π or the square root of 2). These numbers are non-repeating and non-terminating.
If you provide the specific number you want to classify, I can help you choose the correct description.
