First write down the decimal number divided by 1 like this:

0.35

1

As we have 2 digits after the decimal point in the numerator, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 102 = 100, so that there is no decimal point in the numerator

0.35 × 100

1 × 100

=

35

100

Since the greatest common factor of 35 and 100 is 5, we can simplify the fraction and show the same amount

35 ÷ 5

100 ÷ 5

=

7

20

Therefore, 0.35 as a fraction is 7/20
