Question 368771
The easiest way to do so is this: <br>

Take a number like 0.376<br>

This is exactly the same as 376/1000<br>

Of course you can then reduce the fraction to 47/125<br>

Try another one, say 5.98<br>

This is the same as 598/100 or 5 and 98/100 or 5 and 49/50.<br>

The trick is to take the "number" and then divide it by the number which represents how many decimal places the number goes to.<br>

In the first example, our number was 0.376<br>

In order to solve that, we put 376 over 1000, because the decimal goes to the thousandths place!<br>

In the second example, our number was 5.98, and we used 598 divided by 100 because the decimal goes to the hundreths place.<br>

One last example, say 105.6<br>

We would put 1056 over 10 because the decimal goes to the tenths place!<br>

So we would end up with 1056/10 which reduces to 528/5 or using a mixed number, it would be 105 and 3/5.<br>

There's a lot more to it when you get to repeating numbers such as 0.3333333..., but for now, this is the easiest way to do it.<br>

I hope this helps!<br>
