converting decimals into fractions:
1) move the decimal point two places to the right
2) put that number over 100
3) reduce if necessary

example:
.65=65%2F100=13%2F20
.8=80%2F100=4%2F5




converting fractions into decimals:
To convert a fraction to a decimal, simply do what the operation says.

For example, if it says 5%2F8 then 5 divided by 8=0.625
or if it says 1%2F4 then it is 1 divided by 4 which is .25

Is all you do to turn decimals into fractions, but the decimal over 100,or 1000.
Depending on however numbers you have after the decimal point is going to determine what number you use as the denominator; ex. .625 there are three numbers after the decimal point, so you would have 625%2F1000%2C+then+you+simlify+and+it+=+5%2F8.
When turning fractions into decimals you are going to divide the numerator by the denominator.
ex. 3%2F20=+.15
Hope you understand =)
