Answer with explanation:

→A number is said to be rational number , if it can be written in the form of

[tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex], where q≠0.

→A rational number is said to be terminating decimal if denominator of rational number is in the form of

  [tex]2^m \text{or} 5^n \text{or} 2^m \times 5^n[/tex]

otherwise , it is non terminating repeating decimal.

→The given Rational number is

   [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

Here denominator contains neither powers of 2 , nor powers of 5, nor power of 2 × 5, so it is a non terminating repeating decimal , still a rational number.
