To turn a decimal into a fraction 1. Count the number of places after the decimal. 2. Construct the denominator as 1 with the same number of 0's after it as you counted in step 1. 3. The numerator is the given decimal number with the decimal point erased and any 0's in the front erased. 4. Put the numerator for step 3 over the denominator from step 4. 5. Reduce the fraction. 6. If this is an improper fraction and your teacher wants a mixed fraction, change to a mixed fraction.

OpenStudy (andriod09):

OR, you could take the improper fraction, put it proper, then you could turn it into a decimal, lets take \[\frac{13}{4}\] first thing you would do is make it into \[3\frac{1}{4}\] then you could easily understand that the answer would be 3.25. Thanks for reading!
