How do I write a decimal as a fraction?

Writing a decimal as a fraction is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Identify the decimal: Start with the decimal you want to convert. For example, let’s use 0.75.
2. Count the decimal places: Determine how many digits are to the right of the decimal point. In our example of 0.75, there are two decimal places.
3. Convert to a fraction: Use the digits as the numerator (the top part of the fraction) and place a 1 followed by the same number of zeros as decimal places in the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction). For 0.75, this becomes 75/100.
4. Simplify the fraction: If possible, simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For 75/100, both can be divided by 25, resulting in 3/4.

So, 0.75 as a fraction is 3/4.
