To convert a decimal number to a simple fraction
we will ask ourselves how the decimal number
is read. If we use the word tenths, we will place 1010 in the denominator
If we use the word hundredths, we will place 100100 in the denominator
If we use the word thousandths, we will place 10001000 in the denominator.

The number itself will be placed in the numerator.
*If the integer figure differs from 00, we will note it next to the simple fraction.
