When dealing with decimals or percents, everything is over 100. For example .25 is just 25/100 which when reduced is 1/4.

bechapm:

bechapm is right for percents that is 13% = 13/100

bechapm is also totally correct for decimal with two decimal places. so 0.13 = 13/100

So 13% = 13/100 = 0.13

But I'd like to talk about other decimals a little

The first number after the point is tenths so 0.6 = 6/10

The second number after the point is hundreths so 0.08 = 8/100

The third one is thousandths etc

If there is more than one digit after the point you just put the whole lot over what the last digit is worth. eg

0.016 The 6 is in the thousandths place so the fraction equivalent is 16/1000

I hope that helps
