Explanation:

24 23/100

_____

Additional comment

You start with a denominator that corresponds to the place value of the least-significant digit. Here, that's hundredths, so the fraction you start with is some number of hundredths. Then you reduce the fraction if possible, by canceling all factors of 2 or 5 that you can.

Had it been 23.24, you would start with 23 24/100 and cancel a factor of 4 from numerator and denominator: 23 6/25.
