Convert 0.625 to a fraction in simplest form.

Converting a terminating decimal to a fraction uses its place value. 0.625 is six hundred twenty-five thousandths, so it starts as 625/1000. Both numbers divide by 125, giving 5/8. This is simplest form, and 5/8 equals 0.625 when converted back to decimal. For contrast, the other common fractions would be 0.6 (three-fifths), 0.5 (one-half), and 0.875 (seven-eighths), none of which match 0.625.
