\\(\frac{3}{5}\\) 0.6
0.15 \\(\frac{3}{4}\\)
\\(\frac{7}{8}\\) 0.8
0.725 0.35
\\(\frac{3}{20}\\)
\\(\frac{29}{40}\\)
0.875

Explanation:

Step1: Convert $\frac{3}{5}$ to decimal

$\frac{3}{5} = 3 \div 5 = 0.6$

Step2: Convert 0.15 to fraction

$0.15 = \frac{15}{100} = \frac{3}{20}$

Step3: Convert $\frac{7}{8}$ to decimal

$\frac{7}{8} = 7 \div 8 = 0.875$

Step4: Convert 0.725 to fraction

$0.725 = \frac{725}{1000} = \frac{29}{40}$

Answer:

• $\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{5} \longleftrightarrow 0.6}$
• $\boldsymbol{0.15 \longleftrightarrow \frac{3}{20}}$
• $\boldsymbol{\frac{7}{8} \longleftrightarrow 0.875}$
• $\boldsymbol{0.725 \longleftrightarrow \frac{29}{40}}$
