1.178 is a terminating decimal.

Explanation: A repeating decimal would look like something like = 1.178193749284394739473939… the dots representing it goes on forever. Since it ended quickly it represents terminating.

The number 1.178 is a terminating decimal. A terminating decimal is a decimal number that ends, meaning there are a finite number of digits after the decimal point. In the case of 1.178, there are no digits that repeat, and the decimal does not continue indefinitely.
