Convert it into a percentage first. Then find out what it is as a fraction. You might need a calculator.

Its very simply to convert it. Just read it out loud. For example.

3.89 reads out as three and eight-nine hundredths. So you know that if there's a number that's not 0 and its before the decimal point, you know its a mixed number.

Next you write down the three as the whole number 3. Now you know that the last numeral is in the hundredths place. So you simply write 89 over a hundred. Hope this helps you! Its usually best to remember how to convert one type of decimal to a fraction,so you can use it as an example for further conversions.
Not all decimals can convert to fractions. An easy way is divide it by 10^x and remove the decimal point. (x is the number of decimal places) then by factors you can bring it to simplified form.

eg. 0.064

=64/1000

=32/500

=16/250

=8/125
