Answer:

Repeating decimal

Explanation:

The bar over any number to the right of a decimal point denotes that the number is recurring. Meaning that if the bar (line) is over the number 3 in 0.3, the number 3 is being repeated infinitely. (0.333333333333333333....)

These types of decimals are known as repeating or recurring decimals.

Hope this helps!
