To convert a decimal to a fractionm. Place the decimal over 'one point' followed by the same number of zeroes as digits in the decimal number.
Hence
0.408 / 1.000
Cancel down the decimal point
0408 / 1000
Drop the trivial zero to the left of 408
Hence
408/1000
Cancel down by '4'
102/ 250
Cancel down by '2'
51/125
This will not cancel down any further as there are no common factors between '51' and '125'.
Hence
0.408 = 51/125
