The question is about converting decimal to fraction. Every decimal can
be represented with a finite fraction, but some fractions require an
infinite decimal representation. Like 1/3 that sometimes it is
represented as 0.333... to indicate that the number has been truncated.
For the decimals that are truncated, to convert to fraction divide by
999... same number of 9 as required to repeat the cycle. For example
1/7 is 0.142857142857... 1/7 = 142857/999999 0.333... = 3/9
= 1/3 also 333/999 = 1/3

1/3 is not a tool size. .333333333/.03125 = 11 which becomes 11/32 or
5/16, depending on rounding rules.
I suppose this becomes a design decision where application and
expectations delineate a final choice.

Booth,
What about 1/3?
Personally I might consider basing this on a table.
