Rules to convert decimals to fractions:
Step 1: Write the decimal number in the numerator and remove the decimal point.
Step 2: In the denominator, followed by \(1\) add the number of zeroes that were equal to the number digits present after the decimal point.
Step 3: Write the lowest fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by the common factor.
Example:
1. Convert \(54.63\) to fraction.
Step 1: Write \(54.63\) as \(5463\) in the numerator.
Step 2: There are two digits after the decimal point. So add two zeros in the denominator followed by \(1\).
Therefore, the fraction is .
2. Write \(3.2\) as the lowest fraction.
Step 1: Write \(3.2\) as \(32\) in the numerator.
Step 2: There is one digit after the decimal point. So add one zero in the denominator followed by \(1\). The fraction is .
Step 3: The common factor in the numerator and denominator is \(2\). Divide numerator and denominator by \(2\).
Therefore, the lowest fraction is .
3. Write \(399.95\) as lowest fraction.
Step 1: Write \(399.95\) as \(39995\) in the numerator.
Step 2: There is two digit after the decimal point. So add two zeros in the denominator followed by \(1\). The fraction is .
Step 3: The common factor in the numerator and denominator is \(5\). Divide numerator and denominator by \(5\).
Therefore, the lowest fraction is .
