$0.365=73/200$

A number $abcd.lmnpq...$ can be expanded as

$axx10^3+bxx10^2+cxx10^1+d+l/10+m/10^2+n/10^3+p/10^4+q/10^5+.......$

Hence $0.365$ is

$3/10+6/10^2+5/10^3$

= $3/10+6/100+5/1000$

= $(3xx100)/(10xx100)+(6xx10)/(100xx10)+5/1000$

= $300/1000+60/1000+5/1000$

= $365/1000$

As numerator and denominator both are divisible by $5$ , this reduces to

$(73xx5)/(200xx5)=(73xxcancel5)/(200xxcancel5)=73/200$

$73/200$

put $" "0.365" "$ over $1$

$0.365/1$

multiply top and bottom by the smallest multiple of $10$ that makes the top number a whole number

$0.365/1 xx1000/1000=365/1000$

now cancel down

divide by $5$

$365/100=73/200$
