The denominator of the fraction is determined by the number of decimal places in the decimal number. If there is one decimal place, the denominator will be 10. If there are two decimal places, the denominator will be 100, and so on.
The denominator is the place value of the last number. For example, 0.3 = 3/10 because the 3 is in the tenths place. In another example, 0.79 = 79/100 because the 9 is in the hundredths place. In another example, 0.457 = 457/1000 because the 7 is in the thousandths place.
The units for the denominator is minutes. Also, since the number in the denominator is to be omitted, the number of seconds (in a minute) are totally irrelevant.
