To convert a Decimal to a Fraction follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this:
[tex] \frac{decimal}{1} [/tex]
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.)
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction
Example:
Convert 0.75 to a fraction
Step 1: Write down 0.75 divided by 1:
[tex] \frac{0.75}{1} [/tex]
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 100 (because there are 2 digits after the decimal point so that is 10×10=100):
[tex] \frac{0.75}{1} \times \frac{100}{100} = \frac{75}{100} [/tex]
Step 3: Simplify the fraction (this took me two steps):
[tex] \frac{75}{100} \\ 75 \div 5 \\ 100 \div 5 \\ = \frac{15}{20} or \: \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Answer:
[tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Note: 75/100 is called a decimal fraction and 3/4 is called a common fraction !
