How do you convert decimals likes 0.325 to a fraction? What are the steps? :?
 
Count the number of decimal places.

Put the non-leading-zero portion of the number over "1", followed by the same number of zeroes as there were decimal places.

Simplify, as necessary.

For instance:

. . . . .0.25 = 25/100 = 1/4

. . . . .0.05 = 5/100 = 1/20

. . . . .2.5 = 25/10 = 5/2 = 2<sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub>

And so forth.
