#7/20#

Explanation:

The decimal is read as "thirty-five hundredths", which means the fraction will be out of #100#. This is equal to:

#35/100#

To simplify, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by a common factor of #35# and #100#. We can divide both by #5# to get:

#7/20#

Since #7# and #20# have no common factors besides #1#, this fraction is in simplest form.
