$1.36=1 9/25=34/25$

First convert $.36$ to fraction form.

$.36=36/100$

Reduce the fraction.

The largest number that can go into both $36$ and $100$ evenly is $4$ . Divide the numerator and denominator by $4$ .

$(36-:4)/(100-:4)=9/25$

Add the whole number back.

$1 9/25$

If you want an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator, then set the result over the denominator.

$(25xx1+9)/25=$

$34/25$
