Explanation:

a finite decimal number into a fraction is very easy.

remember what the different positions after the decimal point are worth :

tenths, hundredths, thousandths, tenthousandths, hundredthousandths, ...

0.225 covers thousandths.

how many ?

well, 225, of course.

so,

0.225 = 225/1000 = 9/40 × 25/25 = 9/40
