how do you write a fraction for a decimal?
Read the decimal. Is it one-tenth, sixty-seven hundredths, forty-nine thousandths?
That tells you what the decimal equivalent is.
i still don't geit
What decimal do you want to change to a fraction?
.25 .75 .3 .5 .40 .60 .08 .12 .55 those are the ones I need help on
.25 = 25 hundredths = 25/100 = 1/4
.75 = ?
.3 = 3 tenths = 3/10
.5 = ?
.40 = 40 hundredths = 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5
.60 = ?
.08 = 8 hundredths = 8/100 = 2/25
.12 = ?
.55 = ?
You give these a try.
This site has an excellent explanation.

i got it now thanks. its 55/100 12/100 60/100 5/10 75/100
Write 0.25 as 25/100, and then reduce it to lowest terms by dividing numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (25 in this case). That will change the fraction to 1/4.
0.08 = 8/100 = 2/25.
Try to figure out the rest.
Repeating decimals such as 0.333..., 0.666...
and 0.142857142857...
require a special treatment. They can also be converted to fractions. (1/3, 2/3 and 1/7 for those examples)
