#1.36=1 9/25=34/25#

First convert #.36# to fraction form.

#.36=36/100#

Reduce the fraction.

The largest number that can go into both #36# and #100# evenly is #4#. Divide the numerator and denominator by #4#.

#(36-:4)/(100-:4)=9/25#

Add the whole number back.

#1 9/25#

If you want an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator, then set the result over the denominator.

#(25xx1+9)/25=#

#34/25#
