Hi
Writing each decimal as a fraction or mixed number.

5.035 = 5 35/1000 = 5 7/200

If there are no significant digits to the left of the decimal point, then you will end up with a proper fraction.

Take the significant digits to the right of the decimal point -- That is the numerator of your fraction. For the denominator, write a 1 followed by a zero for every digit, significant or otherwise, to the left of the decimal point.

If there are significant digits to the left, then you have a mixed number. Treat the decimal part as above and just put the fraction you develop after the whole number part.
