yes
a repeating decimal is any decimal that goes on in an infinite pattern
1.2222222........... repeating
1.32323232..........repeating
1.453245324532...repeating
but
1.22224223........not repeating because it isnt a pattern

Yes it is a repeating decimal since the pair '16' repeats indefinitely.
From wikipedia: "A recurring or repeating decimal is an expression representing a real number in the decimal numeral system, in which after some point the same sequence of digits repeats infinitely-many times. The repetition may begin before, at, or after the decimal point. The repeating sequence may consist of just one digit or of any finite number of digits."
As a fraction, 1.161616... is equivalent to 1 + 16/99. Or as an improper fraction 115/99.

yes the 16 is the part that repeats. You put a line over the top of the 1 + 6 to show it's repeating

One hint is attempt to make your mind up what fraction is going with a repeating decimal, is to sure it with 2 consumer-friendly fractions you already understand... working example, you understand that a million/10 = 0.a million, and you understand that 0.1111 is somewhat extra desirable than 0.a million, so which you will objective a million/9, which you will locate =0.111111. now attempt 0.33333, you understand that a million/4 is 0.25, and a million/2 is 0.5.... hence the fraction it is comparable to 0.33333 would desire to be between a million/4 and a million/2. hence you may desire to wager it quite is a million/3. 0.2 is two/10, or a million/5. considering 0.22222 is somewhat extra desirable than a million/5 you may desire to objective a million/4, yet we already understand it is 0.25, it is only too super... this implies the fraction is between a million/4 and a million/5, so for this reason you may desire to the two attempt a stronger numerator till you get it, or you may desire to understand that 0.22222 is precisely 2*0.11111. considering we already stumbled on that a million/9 = 0.111111, all of us understand that 2*(a million/9) would desire to equivalent 0.22222. hence, 2*(a million/9) = 2/9 = 0.2222. that comparable technique can quite be utilized to any repeating decimal... considering a million/9 = 0.1111111 2/9 = 0.22222222 3/9 = a million/3 = 0.33333333 4/9 = 0.44444444 and so on. desire those counsel help.

yes cause whenever you see numbers repeating after the decimal then its a repeating decimal.

yea it is put a line over 16 for reapeting decimal like this 1.16 with a line on top of the 16

Yes. The "16" is considered the repeating part. The ellipsis ("...") indicates that the pattern repeats forever, without varying.

Sure it is . And you can write :
1.1616161616161616...= 1.16 ( just put horizontal line on 16)
