Answer with explanation:

A decimal number is terminating , if it's denominator is of the form
$2^p \text{or} 2^p * 5^q \text{or} 5^q.$

The fraction or Rational number ,

(17)/(22)=(17)/(11* 2)

has both 2, and 11 in the denominator,it means this decimal number is non terminating repeating.

So,
$(17)/(22)=0.72272727......\\\\=0.72\bar{27}$

Non terminating repeating decimal.
