Not all decimals can be expressed as fractions. Only terminating and recurring decimals can be expressed as fractions.
eg
a recurring decimal:
0.3333333... = 1/3
A terminating decimal:
0.125 = 1/8
A decimal that does not recurr or terminate, cannot be expressed as a fraction.
eg
Pi = 3.141592654...
Pi can not be expressed as a fraction as it does not recurr or terminate.
It can only be approximated to a fraction.
eg
Pi ≈ 355/113 but is correct to 6 decimal places.
