0.015

We notice that threre are three digits in the decimal.

So we write

0.015 / 1.000

Notice we place it over '1.000' ; three digit zeroes.

Cancel down the decimal point

0.015/1.000 = 0015/1000

The prefix zeroes to '15' are trivial an can be discarded.

Hence 0015/1000 = 15/1000

Since both both numbers end in '5' or '0' they will reduce by '5'

Hence

15/1000 = 3/200

Since '3' is a Prime number this will not reduce any further. Hence the answer is

0.015 = 3/200
