For any decimal , look at the number of decimal digits. Two(2) is this case.

So we write it as over 1.00 (Note there are two decimal zeroes.

Hence

0.16/1.00

Cancel down th4 decimal point

016/100

Ignore the prefix zero to '016.

Hene

16/100

Since both numbers have a factor of '4' reduced/(Cancel down ) by '4'.

Hence

16/100 = 4 /25 The Answer.

As hinted above, for any decimal to be converted to a fraction , inspect the number of decimal places, and write the decimal number over one and the given number of decimal placed zeroes. . Then cancel down (reduce).

Infinite decimals and irrational decimals require different technique.
