A fraction with 10 to a power in the denominator can be used to express every place value after the decimal point.
The "tenths place" is the first position following the decimal point. I would have 9 tenths, or as a fraction, if I had 0.9 - 910 
The "hundredths place" is the position immediately following the decimal point. The query above requests 0.09. This would be in fractional units of nine hundredths 9100

Because every decimal turns to a fraction with a denominator of 10 or a power of 10, I like dealing with decimals.
More zeros are simply added to make a power of 10.
10,100,1000
You will notice a pattern after dealing with a couple of these examples.
To produce a fraction from the provided number, you will need as many zeros in the denominator as there are decimal places in the value.
With two decimal places, 0.09 will give us the whole number 9 for the numerator. That means the denominator will have two zeros to give 1100
0.09=9100
Try also converting 0.1085 to a fraction.
Numerator is 1085 and there four zeros to give 110000
0.1085=108510000 which simplifies to 2172000
What about decimal values higher than one?
Convert 25.492 to a fraction.
The decimal portion must be expressed as a fraction because the entire number is already 25.
Three decimal places are present and the numerator is 492.
Now, the denominator needs three zeros to equal one. 11000
25.492=254921000 which simplifies to 25123250
