How do you convert decimals into fractions

Question

i need to know how to convert decimals into fractions

 

Answer 1

For terminating decimals (decimals that have a final digit):

1.  Place all of the digits after the decimal point in the numerator

2.  Place a 1 followed by as many 0's as you have decimal places in the denominator

3.  Reduce the fraction to lowest terms

 

Example:

.235

 235
1000

Reduced, this would be

  47
200
