Best Answer

A decimal cannot be simplified into another decimal except by deleting trailing 0s or rounding ... 999 recurring upwards.

But there certainly are cases where a ratio is simpler to understand and even work with than its decimal equivalent.

For example:

0.42857142857... = 3/7

or

0.078125 = 5/64
