How do you write a decimal as a fraction?

To write a decimal as a fraction, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the decimal: For example, let’s take 0.75.
  2. Count the decimal places: The number 0.75 has two decimal places.
  3. Convert to fraction: Write the decimal without its decimal point as the numerator (75) over a denominator that is a power of 10. Since 0.75 has two decimal places, we use 100 as the denominator. This gives us: 75/100
  4. Simplify the fraction: Both 75 and 100 can be divided by 25. Doing this gives: (75 ÷ 25) / (100 ÷ 25) = 3/4

So, 0.75 as a fraction is 3/4.
