we can turn any decimal number to a fraction by using as many zeros at the bottom as there are decimals and losing the dot atop, so let's see, we have 3 decimals in this case, so we'll use 3 zeros at the bottom.



\bf \underset{\textit{three decimals}}{92.\underline{004}}\implies \cfrac{92004}{\underset{\textit{three zeros}}{1\underline{000}}}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{25001}{250}}\implies 92(1)/(250)


recall that to turn an improper fraction to mixed, we divide numerator by denominator, and the quotient is the number alone and the numerator is the remainder of the division.
