taking the fraction '1/4'
We write
4)1.0000( = 0.25
We say ' four divided into one doesn't do [ zero in the answer.
Four in to 10 (1.0) goes '2' remainder '2'
Then again four into 20 (0.20) goes '5' and no remainder.
Hence 1/4 = 0.25
Inversely convert an decimal to a fraction
0.75 becomes 0.75 / 1.00
Cancel down the decimal point to
75/100
Hope that helps!!!!

15/20 Cancel down by '5' again
