I'll do one, follow my lead.
Count the numbers after the decimal point.
Multiply by the power of 10 equal to that number.
7.24
2 numbers past, 10%5E2=100.
Then simplify.
7.24%28100%2F100%29=724%2F100=181%2F25

For a mixed number, just multiply the decimal portion.
7.24=7%2B0.24%28100%2F100%29=7%2B24%2F100=7%2B6%2F25=7%266%2F25
