Write decimal fraction as normal fraction and then simplify it.

Explanation:

If you have decimals on the numerator in a fraction, to simplify, first write decimal number in fraction.

For example if the fraction is #3.375/12#,

write it as #(3375/1000)/12# i.e. #3375/12000#,

which can be simplified to

#(3xx3xx3xx125)/(3xx32xx125)=9/32#
