Fractions and decimals are similar because they both are ways to express partial numbers. Additionally, fractions can be expressed as decimals by performing the division of the ratio. ... Decimals can also be expressed as fractions in terms of tenths, hundredths, thousandths and so on.

So its A) A fraction can be written as a decimal, and a decimal can be written as a fraction.

A fraction is a short way of writing a division, and when you
actually perform the division, you get the decimal.

Either of them can be written as the other one.
