In order to change a decimal into a fraction, you have to put it over 1. So, it'll be .32/1.
Next, for each number behind the decimal you're going to add a zero to the multiple of 10. Since there are 2 numbers behind this decimal, you'll be multiplying the number by 100. So, you'll multiply:
100 x 0.32= 32 and 100 x 1= 100
Your new fraction is 32/100. You'll start simplifying now.
What can go into both numbers evenly? 4 is the highest for this problem.
We will now divide 32 by 4 and divide 100 by 4.
32 ÷ 4 = 8
100 ÷ 4 = 25. This will give you a new fraction of 8/25. We'll look to see if any numbers can go evenly into each other...and in this problem, nothing further can.
Therefore, your simplified fraction of 0.32 is 8/25.
