Both are ways of representing numbers. Fractions can only be used for rational numbers whereas a decimal representation can also be used for Irrational Numbers. However, all fractions are exact values whereas any fractions whose denominators has a factor other than 2 or 5, and all irrationals can only be represented by decimals that are infinitely long. Since an infinitely long number cannot be written, the decimals for these numbers are approximations.
