To convert the decimal number 5.3 to a fraction, you need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Determine the place value of the last digit (after the decimal point). In this case, the last digit is 3, so it is in the tenths place.

Step 2: Write the decimal number as the numerator (the top number) and the place value as the denominator (the bottom number). In this case, the numerator is 5.3 and the denominator is 10 because 3 is in the tenths place.

Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, the fraction 5.3/10 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 0.1 (moving the decimal point one place to the left). This gives us 53/100.

Therefore, the decimal number 5.3 is equal to the fraction 53/100.
