i looked this up for my math homework but couldnt find it so here ya go i had to figure it out myself a terminating decimal is a decimal without a end
person 1: what does terminating decimal mean ? i looked it up in the urban dictionary but didnt find it .
person 2: its a decimal without a end, For example, 1 / 4 can be expressed as a terminating decimal: It is 0.25. In contrast, 1 / 3 cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal, because it is a recurring decimal, one that goes on forever.
person 1: woah your a human calculator ! wow

Get the terminating decimalmug. Used in a minority of countries to pretend the presence of a metric system, when in fact a non-metric system is used. Instead of using a designated smaller unit or real fraction, the bigger unit is used with a decimal point.
More often used in combination with the decimal system to describe numbers that are not even.

Geoff: “It’m 6 feet and 5 inches tall.”
Heidi: “uh… I only know the metric system.”
Geoff: “Oh, sorry. That’s 6 5/12 feet.”
Heidi: “That’s a real fraction, not metric, though.”
Geoff: “Oh right. I mean 6.42 feet.”
Heidi: “OK, that’s a decimal fraction alright, but still not metric 🤣”
Geoff: “Hey Siri, what’s 6 feet and 5 inches in metric?”
Siri: “6 feet, 5 inches is equivalent to about 1.96 meters.”

Get the decimal fractionmug. 1: A mythical figure whom possesses math skills of a much higher level than that of an average mortal man. (Believed by some to have the ability to solve complex quadratic equations with minimal expenditure of time and/or physical exertion.)
2: One whom has the ability to go medieval on that seemingly unsolvable and obscure "The train left the station" problem's ass.
