Answer:

7.2 is a terminating decimal.

Explanation:

Terminating decimals are decimals that have an end point. The decimal does not continue to go on and on with numbers but, it stops at one number which makes it terminating.

Repeating decimals are decimals that go on and on with the same number or same patterns of numbers.

So, since 7.2 has an endpoint, then it is a terminating decimal.
