To convert a decimal into a fraction use the command exact(
e.g. to convert 0.219 to a fraction type exact(0.219) which will return
219/1000, unsurpisingly!
to convert 14.28 to a fraction type exact(14.28) giving 357/25,
and if you want this as a proper fraction type propFrac(357/25),
giving 14 + 7/25
Someone else has posted the information that to convert a fraction to a
decimal type Diamond+Enter, so I think that should do what you are trying to
do. (Ignore suggestions to use Partial Fractions, this is not correct.)
