Decimal to Fraction
For another example, convert 0.625 to a fraction.
Multiply 0.625/1 by 1000/1000 to get 625/1000.
Reducing we get 5/8.

how do you determine how many zeros your supposed to use?
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
So basically
you can multiply
\(\sf\Large \frac{x}{1} \times \frac{y}{y}\) and get a fraction.

If you get 000000000000000000000000\(\bf .\)123 that basically is .123
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
If you have \(\bf.\)123000000000000000000000000 that is basically .123

So let's say we have .25
We can make \(\sf\Large .25 = \frac{.25}{1}\)

No, like if you have 0.56 would you multiply it by 100/100? or if you had just 0.04 would you multiply it by 10/10?
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Well you see we have two deimal spots.
.04
12
So we still have to multiply it by 100
