How do you convert a decimal to a fraction?

To convert a decimal to a fraction accurately, one fundamental method involves understanding the relationship of decimals to percentages. When you take a decimal number and move the decimal point two places to the right, you indeed represent that decimal as a percentage. For instance, the decimal 0.75 becomes 75% when the decimal is moved two places to the right.

In terms of fractions, this process can also imply multiplying the decimal by 100, which is effective for converting it into a percentage, thus linking it directly back to a fraction since percentages can be expressed as fractions out of 100. However, the key action here is moving the decimal point, making the second option pivotal.

This operation highlights the direct conversion process that reflects how decimals relate to whole numbers in terms of percentage value and its corresponding fraction form.
