You can, for example

0.009 is the same as .009.

I have been taught to put a zero before the decimal but it depends. To be safe i would put a zero before the decimal.

000.009 you could take 2 zeros off the beginning but leave one. Hope this helps!

How do find the percent and fraction of a decimal?

to find the percent of a decimal, you would move the decimal over to the right twice and that's the percent. To find the fraction of a decimal, you would remove the decimal, put the number on top of the fration, and you would put, at the bottom, of the decimal as many zeros at the bottom of the fraction and put a 1 in front. for example 22.6. You would take out the decimal. Put 3 zeros at the bottom of the decimal because their are three numbers in 226 and put a 1 in front of the zeros

just take the number after the decimal and put it over a denominator. you know how many zeros the bottom place needs depending on how far away the number is from the decimal. the number in front of the decimal becomes the mixed number.1 = 1/101.11 = 1 1/11.7777 = 7777/10000 see the numbers end 4 places away, so the bottom will have 4 zeros.
