Any decimal can be converted back to a regular fraction. Again, to do this, it is enough to know how to read decimals. For example, translate 0.3 into an ordinary fraction. 0.3 is zero point three. Write down zero integers first:
0
and next to three tenths 0 . Zero is traditionally not written down, so the final answer is not 0, but just .
Example 2. Convert a decimal 0.02 into an ordinary fraction.
0.02 is zero integers and two hundredths. We do not write down zero, so we write down two hundredths
Example 3. Convert 0.00005 to a fraction
0.00005 is zero integers and five hundred thousandths. We do not write down zero, so we immediately write down five hundred thousandths
Example 4. Convert 3.5 to a fraction
First, convert the given decimal to a mixed number:
Now convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
Example 5. Convert 1.25 to a fraction
First, convert the given decimal to a mixed number:
Now convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
