If it is a terminating decimal, count the number of digits after the decimal and call it x. Put those digits over 10^x and reduce. For example, if the fraction is 0.84, x is 2, so 84/10^2 = 84/100 = 21/25■
If it is a repeating decimal, put the repeating portion over (10^x)-1. If the fraction is 0.848484..... put 84/(100-1) = 84/99 = 28/33■
