Answer-

= 9062/1000

= 4531/500

= 9 31/500

How to do it--

Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
9.062 = 9.062 / 1

Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 3 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 3 10's

Numerator (N)
N = 9.062 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 9062
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000

N / D = 9062 / 1000

Simplifying our fraction

= 9062/1000

= 4531/500

= 9 31/500
