Answer:

yes ( there is no dots...... telling that the numbers continue) In this case yes

If the numbers continue without repeating then it is a Non-Terminating, Non-Repeating Decimal

Explanation:

Terminating decimal :digits end.

Examples:

0.50 (it has two decimal digits)

3.0395 (it has four decimal digits

But a Repeating Decimal has digits that go on forever

Example: 1/3 = 0.333... (the 3 repeats forever)
