i think to turn a decimal into a fraction we would do like this

 

lets assume 231.45 as a decimal number we r to turn to fraction!

 

so as there are two numbers behind the decimal point we'd divide it by 100 and if there would be 3 numbers after the decimal point then by 1000 and so the zeroes increase like this!

 

and now lets do it

 

231.45 = 23145/100   

 

and so we have turned the decimal into fraction!

 

and if u reduce it u will have 4629/20
