<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one of its kinds. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2. The numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 120.5. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>To remove the decimal from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 120.5/1 × 10/10 = 1205/10</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>To remove the decimal from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 120.5/1 × 10/10 = 1205/10</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>To simplify the fraction further, find the GCD of 1205 and 10, which is 5. Now, divide the<a>numerator and denominator</a>by 5. 1205/10 = 241/2</p>
