The solution to the problem is as follows:
Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
0.336 = 0.336 / 1
Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 3 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 3 10's
Numerator (N)
N = 0.336 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 336
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
N / D = 336 / 1000
Simplifying our fraction
= 336/1000
= 42/125
