0.225

First we note that there are 3 decimal place. So place the decimal over '1.000'; note the three zeroes.

Hence

0.225/1.000

Cancel down the decimal point

0225/1000

Drop the prefix 'zero'.

225/1000

We note that that both the numerator and denominator end in '0' & '5' , so it will cancel down by '5'

Hence

225/1000 = 45/200

Similarly

45/200 = 9/40

Since there are no common factors between '9' & '40' , the fraction will not cancel down any further . So

0.225 = 9/40
