>It would return 1/7 for "0.1" and 1/4 for "0.2". Is it what you expected?

I answered "yes" before, but I am now thinking "no".  In the case of "0.1", the smallest numerator achievable is 1, but there are multiple denominators that would give a value within [0.05, 0.15).  So, I'd choose the denominator that gives the ratio that is closet to the input value.

This is similar to the "16e2" example but with the roles of numerator and denominator reversed.
