Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. 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, 1.625 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 1.625 becomes 1.625/1.
