= 368/1000
= 46/125

Work: Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
0.368 = 0.368 / 1

Multiplying by 1000 to eliminate 3 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 3 10's

Numerator (N)
N = 0.368 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 368
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000

N / D = 368 / 1000

Simplifying our fraction

= 368/1000

= 46/125
