#67/100#

A decimal represents the value divided by #100#

So #0.25# represents #25/100#. To simplify this, we break down all the factors:

#(cancel(5) xx cancel(5))/(4 xx cancel(5) xx cancel(5))#

Leaves us with #1/4#

#* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * #

Now let's do the same for #0.67#

#67/100#

Well, #67# is a prime number, meaning the only factors are #1# and itself. So we cannot simplify #67/100# further
