0.333 = 0.333/1.000

0333/1000 = 333/1000 This will not simplify any further.

However, if you mean 0.333.... , that is a decimal recurring to infinity, then a different method is needed.

We say let : -

P = 0.3333....

Multiply by 10

10P = 3.33333....

Subtract both sides

10P - P = 3.3333.... - 0.3333....

9P = 3.0 NB THe 'point threes' recurring to infinity subtract out'.

9P - 3. 0

P = 3.0 / 9

P = 3/9

Cancel down by '3'

P = 1/3

0.333 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. And, since it is a decimal fraction, there is not another simpler decimal form. Its equivalent, in rational form, is 333/1000 which cannot be simplified.
