How Do You Turn a Decimal into a Fraction
To figure out how do you turn a decimal into a fraction all you have to do is change the decimal into a numerator, that is, the number which is situated on the top in a fraction. To decide what the denominator will be, you simply have to put as many zeroes as the number of decimal places in the numerator. For example, 0.25 if turned into a fraction would be 25/100 which is equals to 1/4 when simplified and you have obtained your corresponding fraction. To turn the fraction back into a decimal is even simpler. All you have to do is simply perform the division process between the denominator and numerator - 1/4 equals to 0.25.

For this review, we will focus on terminating fractions. Divide the fraction by 1, and then multiply the result by 1 in a form that will remove the decimal.

First turn the number into a decimal. Then turn the number into a fraction by putting it over 10, 100, 1000, or whatever number is big enough to have enough zeroes for each place after the decimal.

Okay, that's of me rambling on. Now it's your turn to ramble on. ... Changing a fraction to a decimal is nothing more than a division problem. Just divide the numerator by the denominator. But, you might say "the numeator is smaller than the denominator, how can I divide it?" ; That's an excellent question, glad you asked.
