A fraction is the calculation of the resulting decimal, normally simplified. If you have 0.5 that means you can represent it as 1/2 (one divided by two), so as 2/4 and so on

There are various ways, depending on your decimal

 

example   .125  = fraction?     125/1000     then simplify  25/200   5 /40   1/8     the calc on this website will sometimes do this for you

 

example 2     .3333333333 ...     = fraction?

                 set x = .3333333....   then 10x = 3.33333.....     10x - x = 9x = 3.3333....   - .3333.....

                                                                                                          9x  = 3

                                                                                                            x = 3/9 = 1/3    

 

Do you have a SPECIFIC example???
