how do you make a decimal into a fraction?
2 answers
Divide the top number by the bottom number. For example 1/2, divide 1 by 2 and you get 0.50.
for the numerator write down the digits of the decimal number without the decimal.
For the denominator put down a 1 followed by as many zeros as you had decimal places. Reduce the fraction to lowest terms if needed.
e.g. .567 = 567/1000
1.24 = 124/100 = 31/25 or 1 6/25
