$1.366 = 1 \frac{366}{1000} = 1 \frac{183}{500}$ $1.366 = 1 366/1000 = 1 183/500$

3 decimal places indicates a number of tenths, hundredths and thousandths.

$1.366 = 1 + \frac{3}{10} + \frac{6}{100} + \frac{6}{1000}$ $1.366 = 1 + 3/10 +6/100+ 6/1000$

They can all be written as thousandths:

$1.366 = \frac{300}{1000} + \frac{60}{1000} + \frac{6}{1000} = 1 \frac{366}{1000}$ $1.366 = 300/1000 +60 /1000 +6 /1000 = 1 366/1000$

However this can be seen immediately from the decimal:

$1.366 = 1 \frac{366}{1000}$ $1.366 = 1 366/1000$

Now it just remains to simplify

$1 \frac{366}{1000} = 1 \frac{183}{500}$ $1 366/1000 = 1 183/500$
