\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)\text{ = 0.33333333333333333333333333333} \\ \text{This is an irrational number} \\ (2)/(9)\text{ = 0.222222222222222222} \\ \text{This is also an irrational number} \\ (3)/(11)\text{ = 0.272727} \\ \text{This is a repeating decimals because the only number that is repeating are 2 and 7} \\ (43)/(99)\text{ = 0.434343} \\ \text{This is also a repeating decimals} \end{gathered}

Repeating decimal occur if the number keep repeating itself in an orderly manner

Example: 0.272727

If you observe from the above decimal, 2 and 7 keep repeating itself
