Step 1: Make a fraction with the decimal number as the numerator (top number) and a 1 as the denominator (bottom number).
Step 2: Remove the decimal places by multiplication. First, count how many places are to the right of the decimal. Next, given that you have x decimal places, multiply numerator and denominator by 10x.
Step 3: Reduce the fraction. Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF.
Step 4: Simplify the remaining fraction to a mixed number fraction if possible.
