Description

We have a lot of math expressions that include the period at the end of a sentence on them. We should avoid doing this because it doesn't work well with translations.

Example of this in https://github.com/Qiskit/documentation/pull/4748

... with probability $1/4.$

Depending on the language, the order of the phrases is different and the math expressions usually change their position on a sentence. When that happens, the period is moved around with the math expression.
