To make a decimal into a fraction, you have to think about how many times it needs to be multiplied by 10 to stop being a decimal. I'll show you two examples:

Let's take the number 4.1. In this case, it needs to be multiplied by 10 once, so:
4.1*10=41
Now take this integer that you got (in this case 4.1) and divide it by all the tens you needed multiplied together. So:
4.1=41/10

Another example with the number 7.6593
Multiply by 10 until it has no decimal:
7.6593*10=76.593
76.593*10=765.93
765.93*10=7659.3
7659.3*10=76593
This one took 4 tens to get to an integer, so it would be represented as a fraction as:
76593/(10*10*10*10)=76593/10000

Answer 5

ok so if I do the same thing to 6.52 then I will get the answer

Answer 6

Yup.

Answer 7

so I do 6.52*10
