To convert a decimal to common fraction : Find out place the denominator is e.g. 10ths, 100ths, 1000ths etc. Write the decimal without the decimal point in the numerator, and put the appropriate 10, 100, 1000 etc number in the denominator.

Simplifying (or reducing) fractions means to make the fraction as simple as possible)
