To convert any terminating decimal to a fraction, inspect the number of decimal digits. In this case it is '2'

So place the decimal over 'one point and two zeroes)

Hence

0.04 / 1.00

Cancel down the decimal point

004/100

The prefix zeroes to '4' can be ignored.

Hence

4/100

Cancel down by '4' Hence

'1/25'. THe Answer!!!!!

NB There is a different technique for rational decimals to inifinity.

NNB Irrational decimals CANNOT be converted to an exact quotient(fraction).
