Steps for converting Decimals to Fractions
If Decimal is terminating
Change the decimal into fraction form by using the decimal number as the numerator and put 1 as the denominator.
Move the decimal point of the numerator to the right until it becomes a whole number.
Move the decimal point of the denominator to the right by the same number of places that the decimal point of the numerator moves. Place a zero (0) if the decimal point have move to a decimal place without a digit.
Reduce the fraction into lowest terms.
If Decimal is non-terminating (continuous)
Multiply the decimal by a power of 10 that will move the digit/s which is/are repeating to the left of the decimal point. The number of zeros (0) of the power of 10 to be multiplied depends on the number of digits that repeats.
Divide the repeating digits by the difference between the power of 10 used to multiply the decimal and 1.
Reduce to lowest terms
