Terminating decimal is 11/20.
Releasing decimals are 2/15, 1/12, and 17/14.
I made these decisions, terminating decimals do not repeat forever, and 11/20 (0.55) does not have any repeating decimals.
2/15, 1/12, and 17/14 all are reappearing decimals, because the decimals never end and just simply keep going on.
