As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of working with decimals, fractions and percents.  I review 15 subtopics in my Arithmetic Reasoning course.  One of the subtopics is the conversion of decimals, fractions, and percents.  This question calls for the conversion of a decimal into a fraction.  It is also required to reduce the fraction to the lowest term.  On the ASVAB, if you do not choose the choice that is the most reduced term, the answer is incorrect.  Do you know the answer to this problem?  Tomorrow I will share the answer and explanation tomorrow.
