It has to be simplified as a mixed fraction for the answer though

Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
6.39 = 6.39 / 1
Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 2 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 2 10's
Numerator (N)
N = 6.39 × 10 × 10 = 639
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 = 100
N / D = 639 / 100
Simplifying our fraction
= 639/100
= 639/100
= 6 39/100
