Here is how to convert a decimal to a fracrtion. Just look at the place of the number. Like in .002, it is two THOUSANDTHS So its also 2/1000,then you reduce it. So 2/1000 reduces down to 1/500.
another examople is .05 it is 5 hundreths so it is 5/100 also 1/20.
here is another example .2 is 2 tenths which is also 2/10 which is also 1/5
.1 = 1 tenth .2 = 2 tenths .3 = 3 tenths and so on .01 = 1 hundreths .02 =2 hundreths .03 = 3 hudreths ect.
.001 = 1 thousands and so on and so on.
