Read the whole thing through first to make any sense. I hope it helps you.
If the decimal is non-repeating: divide the number over 100.
Ex. 0.5= 50/100= 1/2= 0.5, .25= 25/100= 1/4= 0.25, .375= 375/1000= 3/8= 0.375
always have at least two numbers over 100, 0.5= 50/100, and have the same number of digits as the decimal, .375=375, but it has to be over 1000 because there has to be one more digit on the bottom number (denominator) than the top number (numerator).
If the decimal is repeating: divide the number over 99.
Ex. 0.3 repeating= 33/99= 1/3= 0.3 repeating, 0.45 repeating= 45/99= 5/11= 0.45 repeating, 0.142857 repeating= 142857/999999= 1/7= 0.142857 repeating.
always have at least two numbers over 99, 0.3= 33/99, and have the same number of digits as the decimal, 142857/999999, but it has to be over 999999 (6 9's) because there has to be the same number of digits on the bottom number (denominator) and on the top number (numerator).
The two options I have explained only work to a certain extent. A regular calculator will not convert a decimal to a fraction. You will have to work it out by hand from the two ways I have explained.
If you have a TI-34 II and maybe only some other certain calculators, type the decimal in and type the fraction button, and it will tell you the fraction in lowest terms.

How do you turn a percentage into a fraction using a calculator?
That function depends on the calculator's capabilites. Some calculators do not show fractions. They only represent fractions as a decimal value (e.g. 50% is represented in the calculator as .5). If your calculator has a fraction function, you can enter 50% then press the fraction button & it will display 1/2 (which is the lowest fraction for 50%).
How do you turn negative 1 fourth into a decimal?

How do you turn a fraction into a decimal and a decimal in to a percent?
You turn a fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom. And you turn a decimal into a percent by multiplying the decimal by 100.
How do you Turn 9.05 into an improper fraction?
To turn a decimal like 9.05 into an improper fraction, you first need to convert the decimal into a fraction. Since 9.05 has two decimal places, you can write it as 905/100. To simplify this fraction, you can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5 in this case. Therefore, 9.05 as an improper fraction is 181/20.
what is 4.68 as a whole number?
Decimal percentage, move the decimal point to the right two places, and then add a percentage sign; fraction into percentage, you can first turn the fraction into a decimal, and then turn the fraction into a percentage, or you can turn the fraction into a fraction whose denominator is 100, and directly rewrite it into a percentage!
