Josiah downloads 44 songs including 16 songs by his favorite band. Express as a decimal the number of songs by his favorite band
that Josiah downloaded out of the total number of downloads. Is the decimal terminating or repeating?

Using a calculator, 16/44 = 0.363636363636363636... it goes on and on. It is repeating. If it was terminating, you would see the end.
There are a few ways to report the number, I'm not sure which one you need. A common way to show a repeating decimal is to put a line above it, I will upload a picture of what I mean.
Otherwise, you can round it.
