     How do you convert fractions to decimals?  Well, its simple.  You divide the numerator by the denominator.  Then, if you have to, you add a zero at the end in order to complete the decimal.  If the decimal goes on further than the thousandths place, then you stop and round to the hundredths place.
     Now for changing decimals to fractions, that is different.  There are different ways to change them, but what I usually do, for example, to simplify .05, I would change it into 5/100.  Then, I would simplify it.  If you divide it by 5 then you get 1/20.  That is the simplest form, so that would be the fraction.  All in all, they are very similar, but also have multiple steps in order to solve them.
