Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal/1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three, then use 1000, etc.
Step 3: Simplify ( or reduce) the fraction.
You cannot simplify percentages or decimals. You can only simplify fractions. So 12% as a fraction in its simplest form is 3/25.
fractions are represented in form of decimals
Depends if it is in decimals .75 is the simplest form. is it is in fractions then it is three forths
Any fraction which, in its simplest form, has a denominator which has any factor other than 1, 2 or 5.
Make sure that in its simplest form, the denominator for the fraction has at least one prime factor that is not 2 or 5.
i think that it is its lowest for beacuse fractions carnt go into decimals

If you leave it in fractions, it would be 5/6. In decimals, it would be .83333 repeating.
That might refer to a fraction. In general you can convert decimals to fractions, and fractions to decimals.
Any fraction which, in its simplest form, has a denominator which has any factor other than 1, 2 or 5.
Make sure that in its simplest form, the denominator for the fraction has at least one prime factor that is not 2 or 5.
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
It is important because depending on the problem it is easier to use fractions or decimals. Sometimes the problem is asking for an exact answer, in which case you would keep it in fraction form.
To change decimals to fractions put decimal over 1 .02/1 move decimal places to right to get whole numbers; top and bottom 2/100 = 1/50
