-- Convert a decimal into a fraction:

Read the decimal out loud, and quickly write down what you hear yourself saying.

For example, if you see " 0.37 " on the paper, you read "thirty-seven hundredths",

and when you hear "thirty-seven hundredths", you write down ' 37/100 '.

-- Convert a fraction into a decimal:

Perform the indicated division. For example, if you see " 37/95 " on the paper, you

say to yourself "That fraction means thirty-seven divided by ninety-five." So you

sit down, take your pencil, and divide 37 by 95, and you get 0.38947 and some

more numbers. (In fact, you can keep going as long as you want to, because

the decimal never ends.)
