We are asked to determine wheater 6/10 in decimal form is repeating or terminating. To do that we need to divide 6 over 10. To do that, we proceed as follows:

We need to find a number that when multiplied by 10 gives 6. That number is 0.6, because:


0.6*10=6

Therefore 6/10=0.6 Since the numbers after the radix point do not repeat, this is a terminating decimal.
