Since 0.65 is less than one, we can't turn it into a mixed number at all. A mixed number has both a whole number part and a fractional part. One example would be one and a half (which is hard to properly show here, but I suspect you know what I mean). However, we can change 0.65 to a fraction and simplify that. the correct way to say this decimal is "sixty-five hundredths", which is the fraction 65/100. Since both 65 and 100 have a common of 5, we can divide both numbers by 5 to reduce it to a simpler form. 65 divided by 5 is 13, and 100 divided by 5 is 20, leaving us the fraction 13/20. Since there are no common factors greater than 1 in either 13 or 20, we're done, and that's as simple as we can get. So, 0.65 = 13/20.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
