You can put this solution on YOUR website! Change a decimal into a fraction:
.6=6/10=3/5 (always reduce the fraction)
.15=15/100=3/20
.444=444/1000=111/250
.0005=5/10,000=1/2,000
Changing a fraction to a decimal:
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
3/4=.75
15/75=1/5=.2
22/88=1/4=.25
17/51=1/3=.333
150/900=1/6=1.6667
7/63=1/9=.1111
15/210=1/14=.07143
12/96=1/8=.125

.
Fraction to decimal
.
Remember that 1/2 means "1 divided by 2" = .5
.
1/4 = 1 divided by 4 = .25
.
3/8 = 3 divided by 8 = .375

also mixed numbers, either change to improper fraction and proceed as above, or just do fraction part and add back in whole number part.
