The value of the 5 as a fraction is 1/2 or as a decimal is 0.5
A term for a number that has no decimal or fraction is called a whole number.
It is: 0.1101 = 1101/10000 as a fraction
A decimal number is one in which the place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right. (... , thousands, hundreds, tens, units, tenths, hundredths, ... ) A decimal point is used to separate the units from the tenths. If a number in decimal form has non-zero digits after the decimal point then it is a decimal fraction. [There is one esoteric exception: if the decimal point is followed by an infinite string of 9s, then it is not a decimal fraction.] Thus 37.6 is a decimal fraction 0.6 is a decimal fraction 0.00000063 is a decimal fraction 37 is not a decimal fraction. 37.0 is not a decimal fraction. 37.999... recurring is no a decimal fraction [it is in fact = 38].
Convert the absolute value of the decimal to a fraction and then put a minus sign before it.
The value of 2.4 in a decimal fraction is: 22/5

Same value -- different formats 37/100 (fraction) = 0.37 (decimal) = 37%
It means that you find a decimal number that has the same value as the fraction - or often a value that is close, since most fractions cannot be expressed exactly with a terminating decimal. Just divide the numerator by the denominator, to get an equivalent decimal.
