Explanation:

Step1: Convert decimal to fraction

0.180 can be written as $\frac{0.180}{1}$. Multiply numerator and denominator by 1000 to eliminate decimals: $\frac{0.180\times1000}{1\times1000}=\frac{180}{1000}$.

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 180 and 1000. The GCD of 180 and 1000 is 20. Divide numerator and denominator by 20: $\frac{180\div20}{1000\div20}=\frac{9}{50}$.
