Yes, there is!

 

For or my example, I will use the number 0.472

 

First, you have to see which place value the decimal goes down to.

 

My number goes to the thousandths, so I would do

 

472/1000

 

There's your fraction! You can reduce if needed. When I reduce, I get 59/125.

 

So... 0.472, a decimal, converts to 59/125, a fraction.

If you are looking for extra practice on this, a good website you could use is Khan Academy. It is language Arts, Science,math, etc. There are youtube videos explaing things and you can do practice questions. Hopefuly this helps. Plesase respond if it does, and i can give you more good websites.
