The easiest way is with a calculator! But it's also quite easy without one...

Simply take the numbers after the decimal point, and make them your numerator.

And to get your denominator, use an appropriate power of 10. There are a number of ways to figure this out, and it will quickly become second nature. It might help you to consider that the denominator will have as many 0s as the fraction has units after the decimal point (eg. 0.0304 has 4 digits, so the denominator will be a 1 followed by four 0s: 10000).

So for 0.003, the numerator is 3 and the denominator will be 1000 = 3/1000 (hence why 0.003 can be verbalised as "3 thousandths").

For 0.44 it will be 44/100, which you can then simplify to =22/50=11/25
