Since they have 3 decimal places, they are thousandths.

375/1000 and 625/1000

Both can be reduced by dividing by 25.

Fractions won't have a decimal in the numerator or denominator.

0.375 = 375 / 1000
 = (75 * 5) / (200 * 5)
 = (15 * 5 * 5) / (40 * 5 * 5)
 = (3 * 5 * 5 * 5) / (8 * 5 * 5 * 5)
 = 3/8
