The answer for 0.630 as a fraction will be 63/100.

Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is an easy task for students. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 0.630 is the number in the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.630 becomes 0.630/1.
