Final answer:

A fraction that can be converted into a terminating or repeating decimal is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. A fraction that can be converted into a terminating or repeating decimal is a rational number.

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both integers. When a fraction is converted into a decimal, it can either terminate (end) or repeat indefinitely.

For example, the fraction 1/4 can be converted to the decimal 0.25, which terminates. The fraction 1/3 can be converted to the decimal 0.333..., which repeats.
