#19/50#

Explanation:

Since #.38# is in the 100th spot just make your fraction #38/100# and reduce to #19/50#
This works with every decimal btw:
For example #.7# would just be #7/10# cause it's in the 10th spot

#19/50#

Explanation:

0.38 has two numbers after the decimal point so your fraction needs two zeros after the one in the denominator (100) and the numbers after the decimal point are your numerator (38).

So you get #0.38=38/100# this cancels down if you divide top and bottom by two.
